I think there is a miss sync between this thread and the app in the market,

In the market, the version is 1.0, here the latest is 0.4 ( i understand it's a 'sub-label', but yet, can't understand what's installed on the device cause it's shows 1.0 as well).

The latest update in the market was made on the 5/5 although here in the main thread it says there is a new version from the 7/5 with fixed caller ID .

I really don't know what version is where, i think you should get it more organized :)
[Android Apps and Games] YOSEFE:
I cannot download the app in Google Play. I get error 'error processing purchase. [DF-BPA-09]'

Any suggested solution?

Cheers.

Can the OP please attach/share an apk here since I cannot download it in Play? I don't know if there are other people who also have the same issue I have posted above?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
If you hit save after you've written your translation then hit read it'll translate..

The caller id fix listed in the main thread was a beta to see if it resolved some peoples issues. The market version is the latest stable version.. I'll update the versioning in the op to be more clear..

I'll upload a newer version to the market this evening which fixes a couple of bugs. I'll also upload it here for people who can't get it from the market for whatever reason :-)
[Android Apps and Games] YOSEFE:
Thanks and button pressed.

@crazyfool_1

Really nice app. Very useful. What do you need to translate it into Romanian for example?

Maybe some of us on the forum can help you with that. I could use it in native tongue. It would be awesome.

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] linux_:
That's a great idea, you had with this app.

How about the already mentioned support for system messages and whatsapp messages ?

Or did I miss something ?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Glad you like it. As for languages the app doesn't distinguish between languages, that is down to the tts engine. I personally use IVONA tts engine which I believe has multiple language support. Edit: IVONA Romanian, also there is SVOX which says it supports Romanian.

You would need to change some of the translations from txt speak though ie if 'lol' is a valid word in another language you wouldn't wanted it translated to 'laugh out loud'.

That's an interesting point though if anyone is using ReadItToMe with a tts engine in another language, if you can provide me with a list of common/useful translations of txtspeak I could incorporate those as an addon to save typing them all in for others. (Currently ReadItToMe comes with a dictionary of some common english translations such as lol, lmao, btw etc..)

The application is written in a way in which I can easily add other sources to be read.. unforetunately gtalk, gmail and whatsapp provide no method for me to obtain the contents of these messages to read within the application so unless that changes they can't be integrated..
[Android Apps and Games] GodGift:
Hey this is amazing app! Now big question - Is there any chance getting option to get the time? Let's say, when headphones plugged in it will tell you every 15 min or every full hour or every five minutes options? That would be amazing feature! Otherwise - great work! Downloading now! :)
[Android Apps and Games] pathaniya:
Superb, finally someone heard my prayers OTA :) Thanks a million. Allow me to relish it.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
haha thanks for the positive feedback guys.. if you do find the app useful feel free to leave me a rating on the play store or even a review.. would be much appreciated :)

For reference

You might wanna consider this as reference,

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pilot51.voicenotify&feature=search_result

This is the one, I currently use but it's not that powerful enough. Good for system notifications only. Anticipating your future updates on that app! :)
[Android Apps and Games] bangishotyou:
Just found out about the app and barely downloaded it a bit ago. Only had one text come in so far (I work two jobs and the one I'm at right now is in an area with bad signal coverage), but I liked that it worked so far. Should be going to my other job in a few hours, where today is pay day (see the latter part of this for why that's relevant) and where naturally, as the IT guy (I'm basically the IT department), I get calls/text messages every few minutes. I look forward to seeing how this does then. Especially since I always have my headphones on while I work.

By chance do you plan on accepting donations or something? Would definitely like to show my appreciation for a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] garfnodie:
I was always hitting save and it still wasn't working. I figure out what maybe a bug, I don't know. I'd check or uncheck the txtspeak box, while leaving what I wanted in the two boxes below, I'd hit save and it wouldn't seem to make a different. I found out that in the translation box, I would have to do something, anything to get it change. I'd just erase the last character, and then type that character back in, then hit save, and now it's doing what I want.

Either way, it works for me know. LOL is one of those txt speak terms that I prefer it to just be pronounced as the letters and not drawn out to it's words.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Latest version uploaded to the Market :)

Changelog:

- Fixed incoming caller not being read for some cases

- Fixed ReadItToMe not running on startup

If anyone is unable to download the app from the market for whatever reason PM me and I will send you the apk. Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] linux_:
Aaah. Ok. Thanks for the info. Too bad, those apps don't provide a proper handle.

Sorry, if I overread it in an earlier posting.

Great work anyway. Appreciated.

For some reason this does not play well with MIUI like many other apps. XD
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
what do you mean does not play well? some more info? i run miui and it runs just fine for me
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
just a quick note.. I appreciate all the ratings and reviews on the market.. However.. if you do experience a problem or if it does not work for your device please pm or email me with your issue.. or even post in here.. leaving a 1 star review like 'Just on my droidx with gingerbread it does not work. Looking forward to updates that might get it to work..' is really not helpful.. i mean how am i suppossed to fix that lol
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
I love the app! Its been doing great. I went to my CM9 ROM and it runs amazingly! Thanks so much! Been testing out TTS Apps finally.
[Android Apps and Games] AlwaysDroid:
Great app man, after I emailed you I re installed my rom and got it to work. I must have removed a package necessary for it to work. I love it now. Now we just need different voices, speed of playback etc in the future :)
[Android Apps and Games] xbroadcaster1991:
Hi, can you make it use SYSTEM STREAM for sounds?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Glad you got it working mate.. as for voices and playback speed that is all controlled via the tts engine not the app.. check out IVONA (what I use) for voice and changing playback speed etc.. theres other tts engines as well which work just as well

I could add that as an option, could you tell me why you would want that though?
[Android Apps and Games] cLeAv0:
Well it still doesn't work for me. Using Xperia Pro. At first try it did say my messages. But on screen off i just heard my notification tone. Then it never worked again lol
[Android Apps and Games] Cardock:
This is a brilliant idea & would be a great app for me as I'm always using my bluetooth headphones, but sadly it doesnt seem to work for me. I'm using a Desire HD with IceColdSandwich Rom. The app starts up fine when bluetooth is attached, and it once read out the name of a caller, but only the once and no text read at all. I've tried IVONA and fiddled with the settings to no avail. Any Ideas?

(Dont know if it makes a difference, but im using GOsms)
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Do you have the latest version from the market?

Is the icon showing in your notification bar?

Are you using the music stream option and if so is your media volume up?

Are you using bluetooth or headphones or always on?
[Android Apps and Games] aussiesausage:
Won't work on galaxy nexus :(
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
If the icon shows when you expect it to read then it is running.. in which case I would suggest checking your volume levels either ringtone or media depending on your config..

For custom roms I would also check you are allowing the apps permissions, on my miui rom the superuser app automatically prevented my app from reading sms and calls..

If there is still an issue pm me and I'll send you a version which will output logs for me to analyse..

Also does your bluetooth support a2dp? There is currently a bug which prevents my app working on non a2dp devices which I am working on resolving..
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
what does won't work mean???

The app doesn't start? There's no icon? What options are you using?

It does work with galaxy nexus. Which means it could be rom compatibility issues, volume issues, tts engine issues, bluetooth issues, permission issues and the list goes on.. More info would be helpful..
[Android Apps and Games] aussiesausage:
I open and turn on options and get a message can't hear anything, volume is up and when using headphones still can't hear anything even with the music stream tick.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
What options have you checked?

Is the icon showing?
[Android Apps and Games] aussiesausage:
I try ticking them all. And yep.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
For future reference if you do find a bug or if ReadItToMe is not working for you can you please confirm your ringer and media volumes are up and then provide the following info:

Device:

ROM:

TTS Engine:

The config options you have checked:

Is the icon showing:

Are you using bluetooth (A2DP or not as well), headphones or speaker?

If you enable always, unplug or disconnect any bluetooth/headphones and type something in the txtspeak box and press read, does it read?

That'll make it alot easier for me to resolve issues.. thanks..
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
What if you type something in the txtspeak box and press read? Does it read?
[Android Apps and Games] aussiesausage:
Nope I hear nothing :'(
[Android Apps and Games] aussiesausage:
Ok I will!
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
If you hear nothing over the speaker in that situation the only thing it could be is either your volume is on mute or tts in not installed on your phone..

Do any other tts apps work on your phone? Google navigation for example?
[Android Apps and Games] aussiesausage:
No navigation doesn't talk to me either :(
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
In that case you need to enable pico tts in your android settings (I think its under language and keyboard but I'm not 100%, I use MIUI which has the options grouped differently) or install a diff tts engine (which I would recommend as pico sounds horrible imo).. I would suggest IVONA
[Android Apps and Games] aussiesausage:
Thankyou!!
[Android Apps and Games] Hampa_D:
too bad for me that there's no swedish voice pack for Ivona if it had i would totally use it
[Android Apps and Games] orlean:
sound goes from speaker, not headset

Galaxy note here:

App is great, however on my Galaxy note is not discret - instead of anouncing via headset only it goes via headset AND speaker.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Can you try using the music stream option and see if that resolves the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] cLeAv0:
i tried to make it read a text, and it works. i have pico tts installed.
[Android Apps and Games] GT247:
It does work..

If anyone is unable to get it to work, remember, you must have TTS enabled ...I have 3 devices it works on and 3 of my friends, all of whom have diffeent devices, from froyo to gb...from dell to htc to samsung....it works

Crazyfool1, ltns...been busy....I meant to mention a while ago that regarding the bluetooth issue when a callers identification is not read......I understand you don't use a bluetooth device and therefore wouldn't know this...and I don't know why I didn't think of it myself at the time I was raising the issue... I use a couple of different bluetooth devices for streaming audio from my phone and each of the bluetooth devices has it's own incoming call announcement and I don't believe that those can be overridden....so while your application may be sending the information to the headset the headset is not designed to accept it...I'll add that every great once in a while I can hear it on one of the headsets, and also I'll add to that that the headset used to every once in a while play my ringtone through the headset and I believe it only happens due to a flaw in the headsets design in that the programming from the manufacturer does not always override what the phone is sending to it...I wish it could be turned off, to be honest...the headset manufacturers settings, I mean

[Android Apps and Games] radon222:
Hey Guys,

Add me to the list of users who can't get ReadItToMe to well.. read it to me. I've got a Droid Inc 2 with stock GB.

I have TTS enabled and have tried both the stock Pico and Ivona.

I normally use a Jabra Cruiser II Speaker phone for BT and Handcent for SMS. Playing with it at my desk, I can't even get to "read" over my headphones.

Any other suggestions? Is there something in Handcent that I need to tweek??
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thank you very much i love this app.
[Android Apps and Games] GT247:
Radon222...

One of the devices I have this application installed on is actually my friends DInc2, and it works fine...when you go to your device "text-to-speech" settings do you go to the bottom of the screen to any Pico or Ivona advanced settings at all and enable anything or what? Maybe explaining what you do screen by screen may help us understand exactly what you're doing and what you're selecting
[Android Apps and Games] mikeschevelle:
Sorry I just emailed you and then found this thread.

I have a GS3 and I am not finding that it will read the persons name for an incoming call, any thoughts?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] radon222:
Hi GT,

I don't why I didn't see your reply until now...but

In Text-to speech I have "Always use my settings" checked, IVONA HQ checked, and the Nicole (English-Australia) voice installed. The "listen to example" does play a short example of the Nicole voice correctly. So I'm really sure what's going on. I used to use Jarvis to read my Txt messages to me while I was driving, but Jarvis will only work over the phone speaker, and not through a BT device.

When I get some time I'm going to try the same setup on my Note and see if that works.
[Android Apps and Games] StygiAn TrepidAtioN:
I'm not experiencing notification on both speaker and headphone issue as u described. But I prefer to use music stream option, as I want notification ringtones muted but still be able to know who is messaging and calling.

I have checked use music stream option. Now, if I'm on silent I still hear message notifications

but not of the calls

. I've tried uninstalling, wiping cache and re-installing. Effect, the same! Bug? Can you rectify?

Also, could u have an option to enable/ disable reading out the message? This way, one can select to only know who has messaged but not have the message read out (especially when "Always Enable" option is checked). This has gotta be a much needed feature!!!
[Android Apps and Games] buffnutz1:
When do you think there'll be the update to support non-a2dp devices? I'll definitely buy the Pro when it's available.
[Android Apps and Games] djocqer:
does it support indonesian language ???
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
I am working on non a2dp support and should have something ready over the weekend if your (or anyone else) is willing to test? I only have a2dp devices..

It is language independent.. if you have an Indonesian language for your tts engine it will work..
[Android Apps and Games] flawedlegacy:
can this allow selective bluetooth devices to be enabled?

IE Read texts via my headset but not on my car' headunit
[Android Apps and Games] buffnutz1:
I'd definitely test it. I have one non-a2dp and one a2dp so I can let you know for both.
[Android Apps and Games] garfnodie:
I would love to use this app for simply reading out the caller id info, but my headset doesn't allow that.

I have a Jawbone Icon, and although it has a caller id voice prompt built in, it simply reads out the phone number of the person calling, whick is useless since I don't know the phone numbers of the people that are calling me, I want to hear their names. Unfortunately, there is no way to get the Icon to play the phones ringtones with an incoming call, it'll only allows it's own generic built in ringer or it's own phone number only voice prompt.
[Android Apps and Games] EvilMF:
Very useful application, thanks a lot crazyfool_1!

Such a simple idea, that the user needs to hear caller name only when headset is connected, and still it is not implemented in most talking applications.

A couple of things to improve:

1. An option to customize predefined voice messages (a constant part of message text like "X is calling"). I can see that you have a pending change to do this for SMS, but it is necessary for a call messages as well - so it will be possible to supply those messages in languages different from English. For example, I have Russian contact list and Russian voice engine for SVOX, and it would be nice if the program says the whole text in Russian. Now it is partly Russian (caller name) and other part is half-English (voice engine tries to say English phrase in Russian, and it is terrible :)). Just a couple of simple text boxes in options with some placeholder for a caller/sender name would be enough.

2. Split app screen in two tabs, one for General options, and one for Translate Txt Speak options. The app will look nicer and more mature this way, at the moment its screen looks like a stub made in a couple of hours just to make things work :) Also, people speaking in other languages will never use Translate Txt Speak options, since it is useful only for English messages; so they don't need to open the second tab.
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroManArmy:
This is the only SMS app that actually works for me.
[Android Apps and Games] iago_00:
would be excellent if you could add the option to confirm if you want the sms to be read. For eg. text sms from Xxx, would you like me to read it to you? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
NEW VERSION IN THE OP :D

That's right, one year on I've decided it was time for an update and overhaul.. some new features including a contact blacklist. And a Pro version (finally) with voice reply for SMS and reading notifications from any app on your phone :)

Enjoy!!
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Re: [APP] ReadItToMe - If you use headphones or bluetooth you'll want this app - NEW

What is used for voice reply to SMS?

I'm assuming online google speech to text. On JB does it work offline?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Online Google speach to text yep.. Doesn't work offline on JB unfortunately.

I did contact the dev of Utter to ask him regarding this as this seems to be the only app which has offline voice but he didn't want to give out this information as its not in the public domain and a lot of commercial parties (and his competitors) are interested in it.. fair enough if you ask me
[Android Apps and Games] atrix4g18:
Re: [APP] ReadItToMe - If you use headphones or bluetooth you'll want this app - NEW

Yeah, but something like that needs to become standard. Hopefully in the next release of Android there will be a better implementation of it.
[Android Apps and Games] radon222:
Darn,

I'm getting FC's as soon as I launch the new version. I also had to manually un-install the old version before loading the new because I was getting a conflicting signature error. (using the Free apk)

[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Sorry mate, just fixed that, new version in the OP
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Totally agree.. Hopefully they'll make the API public in the next major Google Now/Search update
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
New version is up.. some minor fixes
[Android Apps and Games] radon222:
Thanks,

That fixed the FC's I was getting. I do have one question though. Is there a way to disable reading SMS messages during a phone call?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
That shouldn't be happening.. it's actually a bug if you enable calls to be read as well as sms you won't have sms read during a call, if calls isn't enabled it'll read sms during a call.. I'll fix that in the next release, nice spot
[Android Apps and Games] radon222:
Ahh.. I didn't have calls enabled and didn't realize that it would also control the reading of SMS messages during calls. I'll go ahead and change that setting.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
The next update will fix this so you don't need to check calls..
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
New version is up.. bunch of fixes.. added test buttons as per balintmaci request..

Unless there's any major issues this will be the last beta release so feedback would be much appreciated please, especially 2.2/2.3 users.. thanks :)

Edit: Actually there will be one more Pro beta release to read the full Whatsapp, Viber, Messages etc.. so if anyone uses these services and wants to help test let me know as I don't use them myself
[Android Apps and Games] said2010:
Which one the last version pro 1 or pro 2

Is these number are version ... there is no V to know it is version
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Sorry my bad.. 2 is the latest
[Android Apps and Games] radon222:
I'm getting FC's with Ver 2 Free, but the Pro apk seems to be working.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Right new version is up

- Bracket issue should be fixed

- Added the option to read the expanded text on messages (need Whatsapp users specifcally to try this and let me know how it works please)

- Bunch of other fixes and improvements

I don't quite understand this, could you explain what you would prefer it says?

And what do you mean by doesn't handle? Does it just ignore them or read "colon hyphen close bracket) etc
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Ah ok I get that, yeah I can make 'is calling' customizable..

In terms of that ReadItToMe doesn't do any translation of emoticons.. This is done by the TTS engine, for example Ivona reads out 'smiley face' etc.. If Google TTS ignores it there isn't much I can do
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
New build is up.. Read over Bluetooth Mono added.. Added expanded notification reading (needs testing with Whatsapp please).. other fixes.. as always, feedback is appreciated :)
