Acute is a new tweak that reimagines voice control on iOS 7. Acute works by letting users create custom phrases that can launch a pre-configured/custom action. Actions can even be linked to Activator, making Acute very powerful.

Acute is a limitless voice recognition suite designed to revolutionize the way you interact with your device. You can create an unlimited number of phrases to say in Acute’s settings which can then be assigned in Activator to perform any action. Once Acute is activated, it is always listening, meaning you can activate it and forget about it, then just speak to your device like you would speak to a person. This means that Acute has very little battery impact, as you only use it when you need it. When Acute hears you say one of the phrases you've made, it will immediately perform the designated Activator action.

Acute is also intelligent. It can interpret and perform math operations that you say to it. You can simply say ‘Calculate 15 times 31’ and Acute will immediately show you the answer. The days of punching things into calculators are over!

Some of the ways people have been using Acute:
● Say ‘Unlock’ - unlocks device
● Say ‘Illuminate’ - turns on flashlight
● Say ‘Marco’ - phone says ‘Polo’ (useful for finding your phone)
● Say ‘Power Down’ - powers down device
● Say ‘Home Mode’ - turn on WiFi, turn off cellular, raise brightness
● Say ‘Capture’ - take a picture


Unlike Siri and other virtual assistants, Acute does not require an internet connection to work. You can purchase the tweak for $3.00 in the Cydia Store.

Currently, some iPhone 5s users are experiencing issues using Acute with Touch ID, but we're confident the developer will push out a fix shortly.
