Beta is up :D

It's a total rewrite of the app so I won't post a changelog but the key new features are:

Added profiles so you can decide which specific device (including bluetooth) triggers ReadItToMe

Added Voice Reply for third party apps including Whatsapp, Hangouts, Gmail, Telegram and others

More intuitive user interface

Lots of improvements throughout the app

Any issues let me know.. Also would be interested to know which apps you get a Voice Reply option for, it's based off their Android Wear notifications so technically it should work for any app that let's you reply from Wear, I've only tested it with the ones I mentioned :good:

EDIT: Apparently the new Google Play Open Beta require you to install the live Play Store version first and then wait for the update so for those who don't want to wait I've uploaded the APK in the OP as well
[Android Apps and Games] Exod1us:
Hi,

Thx a lot for this very good app. I test it and it work great.

I whant to have some feature if you can add it :p

- Shortcut to activate or desactivate the app

- I am french and when i have a sms the text before the number is in english can you translate it ?

- If i have got the contact, the app say the number and not the name of the contact can you add this ?

- If you can add options to change the text when new call or sms is received and not a default sentence

Sorry for my english lol
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
With the new open beta do we just wait for it to show up in the play store or do we have to do anything first?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
- Shortcut - I'm working on a widget to do this :good:

- Translate - I will be translating the app into various languages, not sure yet if I'll get this done professional or crowdsource it like I've done with my other apps (would you be interested in translating to French by any chance?)

- Contact name - Can you send me an example number format so I can see why it's not matching? ie my numbers are saved in the format +440123 456 345

- Default sentence - I might add this option back, I haven't decided yet

Click the link in the OP to register for the beta, then you should get the update (might take an hour or so) :good:
[Android Apps and Games] JusTeN_:
Hey, Can I ask how you received the data of the notification? I am using a receiver that wait's for a notification and all I can get is notification title. thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
I actually wrote a blog post about how one of my other apps does it (they both use the same codebase), hopefully that should help :) If not drop me a pm and I'll see if I can help
[Android Apps and Games] Exod1us:
Thx a lot.

- I whant to have a shortcut to activate the app with a gesture and i can't do this with a widget

- For the moment i just whant to translate the word when the phone is speaking

- For the contact name the number in france are 0202020202 or 03........ it start with 01 or 02 or 03 or 04 or 05 or 06 or 07 or 08 or 09 and ten number ( My contact have got this number without international code like +33202020202 )

To translate the app i can help if you whant but i work a lot and i don't know if i have got a lot of time to do it but i can try.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
New Build is up, fixed a few bugs but most noticeably it should now correctly read out contact names for SMS and not their phone numbers
[Android Apps and Games] Exod1us:
Hi,

The name are correct now with the number thx a lot !

Found a new bug :p ( When i use translate to put some french word and when i hit save the app crash )

I just whant to use translate to change your default word with french word :p
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
I have tried a few times and cannot get the new version to read my text messages. The old Pro version still works fine so I used the same settings from as I use in it -- under How: I use the music stream. I have tried both Always On and All Bluetooth devices. This is on a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, 5.1.1.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Have you chosen any contacts to read sms for?
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
Sorry, no, I didn't realize I had to. I just selected all and will test it. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] NestorC1655:
Looks Interesting!

Seems useful. Thanks for sharing.
[Android Apps and Games] davidnovarro:
Finally! Gonna test it, I will write a rewev a little bit later
[Android Apps and Games] Whathehell666:
I have used a voice reply to WhatsApp, it something like hands free for a cell. Liked it much!

[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
FYI the app is now out of beta and should be live on the Play Store in an hour or so.

Changelog is as follows:

• Complete rewrite

• Added profiles per connected Bluetooth device

• You can now choose which specific Bluetooth devices trigger ReadItToMe

• Added speech settings for language, speed and pitch

• Added voice reply for Whatsapp, Hangouts, Telegram and others

• Added Marshmallow support

• Fixed some crashes when no profile is active

Any issues do let me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
With it out of beta, do we still have to keep the old app installed to use the Pro features?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
If you've already purchased Pro then yes, I've pushed a new Pro app which is simply an unlocker. Once you get the update open the app, they'll be a button to hide it from your app drawer so you won't see it again.

There's no way for me to know if you've purchased Pro without you having it installed, for new users they'll be able to get the Pro features via an in app purchase, for Pro users this was the best solution so you didn't have to pay twice :good:
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
Sounds good, thanks for the information. Changing the old app to an unlocker makes sense. Also, I now have the option of paying again to support development. [emoji4]
[Android Apps and Games] shinkien:
Nice app, been using the trial version on my tab 4 to read from tablettalk. I was wondering if there was an option to disable reading the app's name? Also, is the voice reply feature available for tablets? I can't get it to work on it.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
There isn't an option to disable reading the apps name but I can add that to a future release no problem :good:

As for voice reply on tablets I haven't tried it but I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Are you using it over speakerphone or bluetooth etc.. ? I've got a Nexus 7 kicking about I can give it a go and see what the issue might be.
[Android Apps and Games] shinkien:
Thanks, that would be awesome. I just have it running thru the built in speaker. I've tried downloading and enabling android wear butcan't get it to work.
[Android Apps and Games] mrm1:
Great app thanks.Is there a way to add some custom text to the start of a notification. The reason I ask, on the blue tooth in the radio in my car, it takes a second or 2 to wake up from standyby when an anouncement is read out. In the original version I added a 2 second message so by time the radio was connected the notification was read out in full. I cant see a way of doing this in the current version. At the moment I am missing the first few seconds of any message.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Are you using the bluetooth mono option for the radio in your car? Just so I can figure out the best way to add an optional delay.
[Android Apps and Games] mrm1:
Yes, I am using bluetooth mono, as this seems to be the only option that triggers my radio.
[Android Apps and Games] fastu:
Automatic bluetooth

Hello,

I own a KIA sportage with a satnav with built in radio, bluetooth, cd, navigation etc. When I'm listening to eg my radio and I receive a TXT-message my satnav doesn' t automatically changes into bluetooth-mode. Anything to do with settings?
[Android Apps and Games] ReynP:
Thank you and a question re Outgoing messages

Hi CF, this is an awesome app, and I have upgraded both my wife's and my version to the paid version of this app. I had some trouble initially with the timing of my responses (I would say Yes or No too early and the system wouldn't register the response) but have now trained myself to pause before speaking. Thank you very much for your very prompt email responses to my other questions. Thought I would post the following query here:

When I am driving (car Bluetooth) or exercising (earphones with mic), I use ReadItToMe to read out my incoming SMS and WhatsApp messages and also my responses to these messages. To initiate new outgoing messages I use Ok Google. However that does not read back aloud to me my outgoing message. I have to look at the screen to verify whether the phone has accurately transcribed my spoken message. Is there any way that I can get Ok Google to read back aloud the transcribed message or get ReadItToMe involved in initiating outgoing messages?
[Android Apps and Games] david72262:
Very nice app been using another for three or four years one thing I miss from the other app is a widget 1 by 1 transparent background on off switch
[Android Apps and Games] mrm1:
App just gets better with each release. Dont know if you added a delay or not, but the most recent releases now appear to be working correctly. I have just upgraded to Pro so can start trying out the reply functions as well. Great work.
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
[MENTION=3232091]crazyfool_1[/MENTION],

The voice reply seems to work fine when my phone is not connected to a Bluetooth device. When connected to my car's Bluetooth, the voice reply does not recognize my responses.
[Android Apps and Games] goose2600:
Is there a way to change the content of incoming message announcement? Because my tts is setted to Italian, so it reads english text with italian voice.
[Android Apps and Games] stivelio:
App doesn't work for me to announce caller names on my Bluetooth. I am on nexus 5 marshmallow rom. Do I have enable anything else other than notification access?
[Android Apps and Games] david72262:
Voice reply hasn't been working for a couple weeks is it a change on marshmallow?
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
Voice reply only worked for me on a wired headset. I have not been able to make it work over Bluetooth either. I use both a Bluetooth headset and my car's Bluetooth.
[Android Apps and Games] david72262:
Use to work perfect for me over car or headset Bluetooth. Doesn't work without Bluetooth either now
[Android Apps and Games] david72262:
Found an alternative for now app called agent that works with voice reply untill developer fixes this one or even responds
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Can you expand on what you mean when you say "it doesn't work"? Does it ask if you want to reply? Does it just not register your response etc.. ?
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
For me, when I receive a text message I am asked if I want to reply. Sometimes there is no pause to wait for my response, it just states it did not understand me. Sometimes I reply and nothing happens. Either way, if I'm listening to something (podcast or streaming music) it does not resume what I was listening to before the message arrived. This is when connected to a Bluetooth device. I believe it still works when connected to wired headphones.
[Android Apps and Games] david72262:
Doesnt reconize a response. It asks what is your message but then doesnt send it or add it to messanger
[Android Apps and Games] txx3:
mate, can u fix floatifications! the one app u have as ur profile pic!

i loved that app so much!
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Thanks for the clarification and sorry for the delayed response!

I've been away the last month but I'm back now, got myself a new bluetooth headset to play with so hopefully I'll have a fix up on the beta program within the next week.

I was aware of it sometimes not waiting for a response but wasn't aware of the other issues. Would either of you be happy to install a build that logs exactly what happens for you if I'm not able to reproduce myself? (assuming it happens consistently for you)
[Android Apps and Games] david72262:
Would be happy to help in any way just let me know what you need. This was my most used feature of my phone till it stopped working. Been using drivermode for a bit but its so invasive and full of unwanted stuff just for the reply by voice feature. It does work so could be some hints in there code. Would love for this to work again it was the best and I have tried at least 30 now.
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
I would like to help but I cannot at the moment. I am currently using an iPhone SE. As soon as someone makes a small flagship spec'd phone for Android, or I just can't stand iOS any more, I will be back on Android.

My Xperia Z5 Compact fits the bill pretty well but I need the fingerprint reader for my work stuff (Good for Enterprise) and it won't be supported until summer at the earliest.

ReadItToMe has been one of my most used apps and I hope it continues to live!
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Traitor... [emoji23] [emoji12]

Appreciate the support buddy ?
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Ok guys, you'll be happy to hear I've fixed the voice reply bug.. Finally!!

Should be up in the beta channel in a couple of hours
[Android Apps and Games] david72262:
Very cool thank you, everything is working again [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1] [emoji1]

Play store sucks can't change from 4 to 5 stars because using beta.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
No worries dude, long as it's working now :good: thanks for confirming
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
One can only stay on iOS for so long. Two weeks was plenty for me to decide I missed Android. What did I find? A fix for this app! Thank you. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
I take back my traitor comment :p welcome back!

Fyi I broke the "no" command in the last build so I've just pushed an update to fix that.

Also speaking of iOS, if anyone's interested I just uploaded an app I originally built for personal use that is once more an example of things you can't have on iOS (cross app communication/hacks) :D
[Android Apps and Games] scarmage:
Hi,

Is it possible to add a feature to read only a specific number of characters for SMSes and App Notifications?

For example, I'd like RITM to read 'A man walks in to a bar...' from Whatsapp, and not the whole joke.
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
It is possible but it would probably sound very weird having the tts read out only a portion of a word..
[Android Apps and Games] scarmage:
If it's not possible to have it read complete words until the character limit, then if you can add a word limit, that'd work just as well. Either way, it'd read a small part of the message instead of the whole thing.
[Android Apps and Games] nonie2:
Anyone ever get caller id working!
[Android Apps and Games] david72262:
Bluetooth mic issues. I thought the latest update fixed everything, I just noticed only works if phone is close its using the mic in phone and not the mic in Bluetooth. Tried a few different ROMs and went back to latest stock to double and triple check. Device 1+1 bacon stock cyanogen 13.0 no root to mods (at the moment for testing) anything I can do to help test or logs or anything you need I'm happy to help.

Yes use Bluetooth is on in language settings tried it on and off.

App version: 41 (2111)

Android version: 23

Device: A0001
[Android Apps and Games] rigattoni:
I just found this amazing app for my car setup.

But unfortunately I can´t get answering for Hangout messages working. Android Wear is installed.

ReadItToMe asks for reading, reads the message, but there is no question to answer.

I would like to test this feature before I buy it... ;)

Additionally: I´m wondering that there is no documentation about the icons in the Apps tab.

Call me stupid, but... :eek:

What are these icons for:
[Android Apps and Games] SixxxShots:
Any chance of adding vibration to the app? I understand it would obviously only be part of the paid app. At the moment I have LG Tone & Talk installed on my phone just to have the vibration feature(which doesn't work for FB Messenger) and then RITM for the reading of both. If there was a way to add a feature that made my LG HBS-910 headset(Or other vibrating devices) vibrate on incoming notifications I would for sure pay for it.

Thanks for the awesome app!
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Was just about to reply to your email :D

I have no current plans to add this, I haven't had a look but I'd assume the vibration functionality of your headset (I had to older model) is not accessible to all apps so I'm not even sure if that's possible. If it is, and it doesn't require an extra permission (phone vibration requires vibration permission) then I could definitely add it.

I'll look into it when I have time, atm I'm fighting with Google's every changing voice recognition api's :mad: which have taken precedence over most everything else :)
[Android Apps and Games] joooe:
No matter what I do, I can't get Portuguese to work in this program. I've used google tts, configure it in settings, google settings, but nothing.

Voice replay not works for me.

Test works but when arrive real message It doesn't ask to me if i want reply
[Android Apps and Games] mrSpider:
Yeah, really, Can I read only a specific number of characters for SMSes and App Notifications?
[Android Apps and Games] mrm1:
Unfortunately i have had to go back to version 1.7.8 as the latest version on the play store does not read out the SMS sender's name but the whole telephone number. 1.7.8 works perfectly for me.
[Android Apps and Games] david72262:
Thanks I will revert if I can find it reading the whole number is annoying and who knows numbers anymore. Also music volume isn't muted any more either still plays in background it is lowered but not muted and is to loud. Still love the app but older versions did work better. One more problem haven't gotten a log cause always driving when getting a bunch of messages at same time and hit the mic to reply from keyboard so it goes to right message ( I've had times when receiving bunch of texts will reply to wrong one) it freezes keyboard if another message comes in and is being read at same time.

I hate listing flaws here this is such of a must have great app everyone should be using it.
[Android Apps and Games] mrm1:
Agreed. This is one of my top must have apps.

Hello to all,

I downloaded the paid version of Readitome, I'm fine, even if it does not ask me if I want to answer it.

Wrong in some configuration?

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] CheriePie:
Just upgraded my phone from a Galaxy S6 to the S8 and trying to get ReadItToMe working properly. One thing that I've noticed that's giving me difficulties is there no longer seems to be a Car Mode I can choose from the Profiles dropdown. I've even tried forcing it through the RITM's Tasker plug-in (Enable Car Mode profile) but I can't get it back.

The Car Mode profile is still showing on my S6, I'm just not sure how to push it to my S8. Any help?

Repeat messages

I thought the repeating of messages was fixed. I installed readittome and i have the pro version., it keeps repeating the messages twice and its starting to get annoying any way to fix this or will this bug be fixed or is in the works.
[Android Apps and Games] scottjb:
If you have both application (e.g. your messaging app) and all your contacts set up to allow messages to be read, you'll get them twice. I disable all the contacts and enable only my messaging apps and it works fine that way.

Talk about reviving the dead... ?

Just wanted to let people know I've just (finally) fully rolled out a huge update to ReadItToMe! This was my first ever app back from 2012 & while I've maintained it since then the code base was pretty horrible & convulted so this update brings with it a ton of bug fixes, alot more stability, a much more intuitive UI & setup process than what I've forced people to muddle through for years ? and it'll make it alot easier for me to add feature requests going forward should anyone ask for any ?

I also threw in support for triggering the app based on a WiFi network, not just Bluetooth, so if you want it to turn on when you're connected to your home network for example, that's now an option ?

Next on my to-do list is adding driving detection, if anyone's seen an intuitive way to ask the user if they're the driver & not just on public transport - let me know ?

Other than that - any issues, bugs, questions, feature requests etc.. let me know - enjoy!

This seems like something I've wanted (and tried to get something similar with tasker) for a long time! Does it work with google voice?
[Android Apps and Games] decibel_nv:
I don't know if this is how you use Google Voice, but I have my GV text messages come in through Hangouts, and that reads to me just fine in my car and motorcycle helmet. I'm on a Verizon branded LG G4 that had it working with Lollipop, and now with Marshmallow.
[Android Apps and Games] astrod:
Thanks for that, but I switched from hangouts to voice and like it better.
[Android Apps and Games] bielie:
It is possible to add another lang on voice replay? Example indonesian ( bahasa indonesia ). Or do you accept ppl contribution ? Im just install this app 3 hours ago. This is help me alot. Im seller using WA for my customer.

Yesterday I purchased the app to be used on my Oreo car head unit.

Unfortunately I get each time warning notifications that the app failed to post notification on channel "rob.readit.tomefree" and I am not able to answer to my whatsapp messages. The app just asks me to answer, but doesn´t take the "yes" and blocks the audio channel until reboot.

[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
Still actively developing.. :)

I assume the connection you're using for the car is BT Mono?
[Android Apps and Games] rigattoni:
That sounds great! I appreciate that, because I really use it often and daily. I can stay in contact to my family and friends even while driving.

I got a new ROM from China and this repaired part of my notification issues, so userUI doesn´t crash anymore. Installed the Trial this morning and it seems to work. Just this error message still appears.

I don´t use BT mono in the settings of ReaItToMe.

Just the German voice needs to be changed. Seems that I still have some refinement to do. But this is another part. MAy be I dind´t choose Google for TTS.

Need some testing and then I will purchase the app. Great work so far!!! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] aleMarvel:
another... this bug happen often... this app lose listener !!!

i buyed your app but don't work !!! help please
[Android Apps and Games] crazyfool_1:
This usually happens if the app happens to crash in the background, all the silent crash issues have been fixed as far as I'm aware so it'd be good to know more details like which app version, device, os version etc to help get this fixed.
