What Is ReadItToMe Like alot of us I use my phone for music alot and I wanted to be able to hear who was texting me or calling without having to pull out my phone. There are a few apps which do this however I found them to be too bloated and I wanted to be able to have it run automatically when I needed it. Thats why I wrote ReadItToMe.
ReadItToMe reads out your incoming sms messages and incoming callers. It can be set to do this automatically when you connect to a bluetooth device or you plug in your headphones, as well as over the speakerphone.
Translates Txt Speak ReadItToMe will also translate your text messages into proper english so you can understand whats being read.
With ReadItToMe This: SMS from John saying: "btw dat woz amazin, I dunno y I wasn't gonna go lol" Becomes This: "New message received from John. By the way that was amazing, I don't know why I wasn't going to go laugh out loud' As well as that you can add your own words and translations easily through the UI.
This is the feature list so far: - Read incoming sms - Read incoming caller name - Always read - Read only when bluetooth is connected - Read only when headphones are connected - Translate text speak before reading ie lol is translated to laugh out loud - You can define your own translations of specific words - Starts on boot - Reads sms over music (music volume is turned down and then back up afterwards) - Icon in notification bar to show when it is running - Read incoming caller - Supports multiple languages as long as you have the TTS data for that language installed (I personally recommend IVONA over Pico TTS)
Note - It uses the notification stream to read messages and calls by default, so if your phone is on silent you will hear nothing. However if you check the use music stream option it will use the music stream, in which case it will play at the media volume, so if your on silent you can still hear notifications. - Anyone experiencing the issue where it reads on both speaker and headphones/bluetooth simultaneously use the music stream option.
