Right confirmed the fix works, I've just published the update so it should be on the Play Store in a couple of hours :)
[Android Apps and Games] jamaljmys:
great work man, i love it

thank you and keep up.

noticed:

- no way to silent the reading if needed.

- the profile couldn't be saved and its return to default after go back from settings screen.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] FreakyFreakGA:
Firstly, love the app, bought Pro to support the dev, great app. Does any form of connection need to be on in order for the app to read the messages ie: wifi/3g? I seem to run into a random issue from time to time where the app itself wont read any form of text or call I get, it random goes in and out from time to time it seems.

It seems to happen most when the phones asleep, and sometimes when i'm just using the phone to play a game or something.
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
No, it uses the TTS information on the phone. I believe it might be because your phone is either out of RAM (playing a game) or your sleep frequency is too low (could happen if you changed kernel and settings custom options).

Does it sometimes happen that you don't receive notifications while you play a game or your phone is asleep?
[Android Apps and Games] FreakyFreakGA:
It mainly seems to happen if my phone screen goes off and maybe sits for a bit, I get regular notifications like SMS but the app end's up not reading the text.

I run an HTC One V on CodeFireX using an ION kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
The profile feature works where you select one, set the settings for it. Those settings are then set for ie Headphones when you plug your headphones in. If you go back into the app it'll show Default but if you press Headphones your settings are still there :)

And I'm going to try and make it work like a call, so you get a call, you press volume down, call is muted. Same functionality. If I can.

^^This is why XDA is great :)

Are you using it with Bluetooth by any chance?

It sounds like your phone is killing the service for whatever reason and if your on Bluetooth when this happens the app doesn't know. It detects bluetooth on connect and disconnect so if it restarts and your already connected it doesn't know. If your not on Bluetooth then it could be a bug..
[Android Apps and Games] FreakyFreakGA:
Not using bluetooth, but as I said it seems more random than constant, like atm everything is working, and I don't think the process is getting killed, i've monitored the app and it constantly runs. So i'll just keep an eye out, it's not a big problem at all, and I can't complain as I love the app regardless.
[Android Apps and Games] flash62au:
Is it just me (am I doing something wrong) or are the "Read:" and "When:" settings global. i.e. If I set them for one profile it automatically changes them to same values in the other two profiles. The only things that you seem to be able to have different in the profiles are the "How:" settings.

I would like to be able to set it such that when the headphones or Bluetooth are connected it will read calls, sms and apps. But if neither is connected, to only read calls.

That does not seem to be possible. If I deselect "sms" in the default profile, it is automatically deselected in the other two profiles, etc.

Thanks in advance

BTW Great little app. I have paid for the pro version, based on its potential.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
You are correct the Profile is only for "How" because of the way different devices work, ie on headphones I need music stream but on bluetooth in the car I don't.

Atm what you want isn't possible but maybe in the future I'll extended profiles to include "What" as well :)
[Android Apps and Games] flash62au:
Ok,

Would it be possible instead to have a widget to quickly switch between settings? Ideally I would like it to see it have 4 rotating settings "off" "calls (only)" "calls + sms + apps".

Even better would be the ability to launch the different options via shortcuts - I use EasyProfilesPro to change my settings (like launching apps and shortcuts) based on rules including when the headphones are plugged in/out or when bluetooth is connected.

P.S. To possibly reduce confusion for other new users, I think it may be clearer if you moved the Profile selection to below the "When:" heading on the General page. Or perhaps had a separate page for Global options, and another for profiles.

thanks again.

[Android Apps and Games] MightySashiman:
Great job.

I tested it by sending myself an SMS, first time in english, second time round in French (my native language). First got read perfectly , the second was interpreted as english too so utterly sensless. Couldn't the input text could go through some kind of "auto-detect input language" feature such as in google translate ? or at least as I mainly communicate in one (non-english language) could it be possible to select the input language ?

looking forward for an "international friendly" version of ReaditToMe.

ps : oh yeah, and also, make it possible to set a given sound volume for the read out. It just killed my ears >_<
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Volume is media volume or notification volume depending on your settings.. It is app independent

Also it uses the default tts engine language ATM which I'm guessing yours is set to English. In the future there may be some sort of auto detect we shall see :)

New update just released - will be on Google Play in few hours. Fixes the issue of an incoming sms contact name being read as a random number
[Android Apps and Games] SchmeeForce:
Hi there,

Firstly great app you have hear, however I'm getting FC when just swiping through the menu's. Do you want me to upload a logcat for you, or anything else I can do to help you?

Thanks

SchmeeForce
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
If you can please.

Also does anyone have an issue where for sms it reads out a number and not contact name?
[Android Apps and Games] kashortiexda:
I'm still getting number instead of name, even with latest build, cm 4.2.2
[Android Apps and Games] Meatball4u:
Ok, I have a big problem! I have uninstalled the app, but my notifications are still being read aloud! My privacy is not what it used to be. Help!
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Great news.. for me.. Lol. I've just fixed the bug (again) and need someone to test as I can't reproduce the issue. I've attached the free version with the fix, could you give it a try and let me know if it works, if so I'll push the fix live in an hour or so

ReadItToMe is not the cause if you have installed the app, that's pretty impossible. Maybe a restart? Also are you on a Samsung device by any chance as they do weird things if you enable accessibility services (assuming you installed Pro)..
[Android Apps and Games] kashortiexda:
free_6 reads out the name :) nice one, will wait for the pro update, thanks crazyfool_1
[Android Apps and Games] Meatball4u:
Yes I do indeed have a Samsung S3. It's uninstalled and restarted. I still get things read to me. I looked at my Accessibility options, and everything is default. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
The bug is well documented here with a list of possible fixes - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23105
[Android Apps and Games] as005:
Will the new Pro version be available for free too? :p
[Android Apps and Games] SchmeeForce:
Hi,

here it a pastebin link : LINK

Apologies its so long. It's first time I've done something like this.

Thanks

SchmeeForce
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
There's no error in there mate.. Something called Xposed is throwing a nullpointerexception but that's nothing to do with ReadItToMe

Also is anyone STILL having the random number issue? Let me know I've fixed this 3 times and I can't reproduce it at all so I need someone who can to help me troubleshoot
[Android Apps and Games] SchmeeForce:
Ok, I know what Xposed is, but if it's nothing to do with your app then it's all good!!

Keep up the good work!!!

[Android Apps and Games] tobi24:
Could this app also be used to read texts directly on websites? Or can you recommend another app that does a good job for text 2 speech on websites?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
I have thought of doing this before but the problem is unless it was built into the browser it would involve copying and pasting a page to be read :(
[Android Apps and Games] Szczepanik:
I"share" the page with Voice Reading. Ñot perfect but it works.

[Android Apps and Games] galaxys3lover:
Hey been using this app for awhile and it works really well , Good work ! .. :) but is there any way for the voice to stop reading when i swipe off the notification from the drop down menu?
[Android Apps and Games] ProfEngr:
On the S4 this app finally started working after a bit. Not sure why it didn't first thing; settling time? Anyway, for some reason the SMS notification will sometimes start to play through the phone speaker even though I have it set to BT only.
[Android Apps and Games] ProfEngr:
Seems I had everything set up, but as default profile. BT profile was using bt mono. Will see how that works next time I'm on it. Thanks.

Hey Rob,

Have just installed the app and cant get past intiial window, have tried removing and reinstalling still no joys?

After installing this app and opening it for the first time dreaming of my bike rides being uninterupted i have found i cant get past the initial popup asking "would you like a quick walkthrough of the app?" neither the "no thanks" or "teach me" buttons respond, it would also appear a textbox under the translate section has the focus not this popup box?

please help :(

Running a HTC ONE X

EDIT: just installed the free version as well and they are both doing the same?

Pirated App warning

Had this installed (from this thread, Pro v0.4) for a couple weeks now and after booting today I get a huge popup "You may be using a Pirated App!! We have detected you may be using a pirated copy of ReadItToMe. ... please update your copy from the Google Play Store" To my surprise, Google can't find a reference to this message anywhere on the web. Is this something put up by ReadItToMe? By Google Play Store? By AOKP or CM? Wondering whether this is supposed to be a legit warning, or just an encouragement to pay, or is itself some kind of scam.
[Android Apps and Games] jophil2412:
I "think" it is there to remind You of buying the pro Version ;) The Version you are using is (as you may know) a beta version and the one on Google play has more features and bug fixes.. so just upgrade and see if the popup disappears :)

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 10 mit Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Actually, it's a popup generated by ReadItToMe which you'll get if you haven't updated the app in a long time. The theory being people who pirate apps don't usually update their pirated copies so their more likely to see this message. Those people who have legit copies can go ahead to the Play Store and update their app. I implemented it as a more user friendly way of combating piracy rather than using all kinds of technical workarounds and obfuscation which will always be hacked :)
[Android Apps and Games] jophil2412:
Best idea against pirated apps I have heard so far ;) at the moment I am considering not to update just to see those notification :D

Apart from that I would like to have an option to change the beginning of notifications for different apps. I am using your app mainly for what's app but not in English language so it would be nice to change the beginning of such a notification as well (or is there an option to do that?), because at the moment my German TTS tries to read "new what's app" which naturally sounds odd since it reads new as if it was a German word ;) perhaps it might even be possible to implement a way to set an app specific sentence in the list of apps (where can enable "read notifications") . Otherwise I am totally happy with your app. It's really useful especially when connected to a Bluetooth headset :)

[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
I think I actually forgot to make the "new" word customizable.. my bad, I'll fix this in the next build. But you can change the title of the app in the app list to make it "Whatsapp message" for example it'll read "new Whatsapp message" instead of just "new Whatsapp"
[Android Apps and Games] lordbah:
Thanks. I just wasn't sure it was from the app - now I know.
[Android Apps and Games] sp_1st_timer:
It doesn't read the caller name. But the app description says it should. The free version at least read the caller name, but thru the phone speaker (which is not what I want to do). I already tried experimenting with turning on/off headset/bluetooth option in the contact list. I'm using HTC One.
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
I've been using the app for about 5 days now...the Free Version.

Yesterday I didn't notice it wasn't working until it read all the text messages I got up to that point, maybe 7-8. I went to the settings test screen & could not get it to talk...rebooted phone, still nothing...I did notice that the word "Test" would jump from the middle of the button to the left side.

I went ahead & cleared Cashe & Data...that got it working again.
[Android Apps and Games] perosredo:
How's this with the HTC One? Or CyanogenMod, or 4.3?

Could you add support for sliding messaging?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Ma$etas:
trying this app out i installed the free version too see if it works but at first i was having an issue of the test notification being read by headphones and phones speaker i went into the setup settings and now im using the music stream option and it fixed that

but

its not reading any of the actuall text messages.. it works correctly for the testing within the app but not any actual messages that i receive..

Im using Verizon galaxy note 2 on jelly beans build 21 which is 4.1.2..

text messaging app are verizon messages and stock sms app

interested in the pro version for the reply back feature but first want to make sure this works before i purchase
[Android Apps and Games] Ma$etas:
Wow no response yet from developer for the issue i stated back on 28th of august.. Really like what this app purpose is and will buy the pro version but not until that issue is fixed....
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
I switched to Spoken, no problems at all.
[Android Apps and Games] paddybear:
Hello! Really great work, this app. Thanks for that! However, why does it need internet access. I would generally prefer that apps accessing my personal messages would not communicate over the internet.

[Android Apps and Games] SoulReaver75:
Did you get it to work with car BT?
[Android Apps and Games] paddybear:
Maybe it was already mentioned before, but with ReadItToMe all the Air View functions on the Note 3 get deactivated when one wants to hear messages from Whatsapp. Isn't there a solution?

Edit: Despite the message that one cannot combine Air View and ReadItToMe in the settings menu of Android, it seems I could simply reactivate the Air View features afterwards. Well, I will go on testing it.

No answer to my question?

Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] jophil2412:
You don't need to be concerned. The Dev implemented that because pirates usually don't update their apps that often. A new version of the app simply sets a new date for the warning. Usually a paid or free user will update the app and therefore never see this. Sadly the Dev seems to (more or less definitely) has stopped developing the app. Just click OK and continue to use the app as long as it works. I don't think there will be any further updates.

s4 on JB4.3 - desnt work anymore

HI i was happily using the pro version of this app on my s4 running 4.2.2

When i updated to 4.3 it stopped working. Test function works fine, but none of my messages are read out at all. Ive gone through the setup, multiple times and tried every setting to no avail.

Is anyone out there managed to get this awesome app to work on Sammy s4 i9505 running Jellybean 4.3?

[Android Apps and Games] Cruiser_541239:
Hi,

bought the pro version, working great with Nexus5 and my car system,

here my feedback:

1) In Whatsapp,

first message -> app read message

second message -> app read first AND THEN second message

third message -> app read first AND second message AND third message..

and so on.

(Whatsapp needed both checkboxes in CONTACTS setup screen in order to read full messages.)

Anyone experienced that?
[Android Apps and Games] Cruiser_541239:
Ah, sorry for double post, I forgot to answes:

Can I use Android intent between Readittome and another app (Llama for example) ? Because I need to automate the checkboxes in "WHEN" clause of the general settings.

TY
[Android Apps and Games] BSapps:
Hahhaha.. this is great :D
[Android Apps and Games] Cruiser_541239:
Another thing I've noticed:

Messages are often read twice.

I think it's because I had previously used the free version, the buyed the pro version (which is installed over the old without saying anything). Then I noteced the two version and uninstalled the free version, but messages are still read twice.

There is a way to stop this behaviour?
[Android Apps and Games] kristian.scott:
I have found just about most of these apps repeat messages, it was my biggest disappointment with this one because it was one of the best.. I have to use voice notify because it has an option to delay a repeat message from the same sender within set amount of seconds. It also has a log of all your notifications and how it responded.... Looking at the log it shows most push notifications actually hit the device 2 or 3 times each but is one notification up top.. Hence I believe this option to be the only solution.
[Android Apps and Games] Cruiser_541239:
But nobody noticed it before in 27 pages?

While this is not an issue for SMS, during fast whatsapp events may become a mess..

Reading only known contacts

Hello all, is there possibility to read only contacts and not the numbers?

... I have not found it in the app settings nor in this thread
[Android Apps and Games] Stonewolf:
I've purchased the Pro version already for some time. I never got it to properly work on Note 3 (worked but only half on JB 4.3). Even worse, after 4.4 update (upgraded by mistake - never will again - KK is the worst Android version ever) is not working anymore. Is this project closed? Is the dev gone to Mars? I've sent him mails and never got any back reply. I didn't want to write a negative feedback because I'm not used to blame immediately someone ... first we talk.

If anyone knows a method to get this app working on Note 3, please let me know. Thanks.

Cheers.

[Android Apps and Games] EdKawas:
I am the developer of Enhanced SMS & Caller ID and would like to point out that our app can pretty much do all that this abandonded app can do and much more. Our app is actively developed (check out our Google+ page or testers group) and We are very receptive to suggestions and feature requests. We dont plan on going away any time soon! Also, we plug into Tasker / Locale and other related apps so you can have more complete control over our app!

Our app is usually in the top 50 communications app list in google play store. I dont have a demo version but I do offer refunds to unhappy consumers (dont like users feeling like they wasted their money). I suggest that you dont try a pirated version of the app, because they arent up to date and usually dont work ;) Plus with our refund policy, what's the point?
[Android Apps and Games] Stonewolf:
Enhanced SMS & Caller ID

Ok, I'll give a shot and try your app.

Last edit: I can confirm: is working with viber and whatsapp

But, you will have to deploy a very enhanced guide on HOW TO set this app to work properly! Only a FAQ or Documentation won't HELP!
[Android Apps and Games] JazzMozz:
Can you please tell me how you got it to work? I have a Nexus 5 running 4.4.4 as well, but it doesn't work. I have emailed the dev several times but he doesn't reply (very rude since I paid for this app).

I only want to make use of this app when I'm driving in my car. My device is then connected to a Parrot CK3100 bluetooth device. I want the text be read out through my car stereo speakers (and not the phone speaker).

In the screenshot you can see what I have toggled.

In the Apps tab I have toggled the right box (blue toggle) but not the left one (green toggle) for Gmail and Whatsapp. I have tried fiddling with these two toggles and try different combinations (these different toggles are rather confusing BTW) but I must be doing something wrong. Can you please share your settings?
[Android Apps and Games] kristian.scott:
Sorry mate, it's been a while since I had this installed so can't remember the settings. It was a really good app but it did repeat messages unfortunately. I believe the developer has stopped working on it now. I use voice notify at minute cause it doesn't repeat messages if settings toggled. The only problem I have is it will read messages over my BT stereo while playing music unless app is disabled. No biggy but this app had settings for that.
[Android Apps and Games] JazzMozz:
Does Voice Notify support Whatsapp and Gmail? Not sure when I check Google Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] kristian.scott:
I don't use what's app, but it reads any app that provides a notification. Email-only reads sender name not content I think. Lots of options to toggle which apps to read aloud and which to ignore. My main use is having starred twitter accounts read aloud to my BT headphones(news n sport mainly) which saves me diving in my pocket every 5mins to see what the buzz was.

Don't know is this will be of any help but in my car the music stream setting works (messages are read through the car audio system). In my wife's car the BT mono setting must be used. Have you tried that?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
For anyone who may be interested I'm in the process of developing a long overdue (over 2 years :0) update for this app..

There wasn't really many bugs to fix but I'm updating it to be compatible with Android 5.1, I'm adding bluetooth profiles since now we're in the era of smart watches - triggering readittome on any bluetooth connection isn't ideal, I'm improving the entire setup which was just awful and confusing (sorry), and support for reading app notifications will be much improved and will now be free (previously was pro only).

For anyone who purchased pro I appreciate you supporting the app and don't worry, I have something up my sleeve for you guys ;)

There'll be a public beta up very soon, just a heads up to gauge interest in a public beta (hope that's ok) ..
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
You are correct about both the lack of bugs and the overdue update! :) I look forward to what's in store. Both my wife and I have the pro version.
