[Android Apps and Games] Won't be druv:
This app is simply brilliant! I just bought a new car and it has all the bells and whistles, however I could not, for some reason, get the messages to be read out loud on bluetooth. Speaki works really well and I'm very impressed. [MENTION=6815004]dEVshr[/MENTION] will you make a paid version as I'd buy it and support your work? Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
Do you mean only the contact name will be announced without a prefix? if so, currently it's not available but I'm planing to allow to edit the 'Caller ID' prefix in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
A QuickSettings tile for Android Nougat will be available soon :)

Events trigger feature is also on the development road map, but don't expect it any time soon :o
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
It's possible, but I do believe when you set your phone in vibrate/silent mode you don't want Speaki to read (in most cases). I want to have a less option as I can to the app to keep it simple, but I can see what I can do.

Can you describe me the case when your phone was in vibrate mode and and you wanted Speaki to read? (You were at the office alone? in the car? etc..)
[Android Apps and Games] Terraalpha:
Yes, I meant, only the contact name and the name of the app is announced, thank you for your reply

I don't know about him, but me for example I often use my phone in vibrate/silent mode only (gym, university, etc.)

And when I'm connected to Bluetooth and headset sure I'd like the messages to be read out although I'm in vibrate/silent mode.

At least for headset and Bluetooth connected I personally think such an option would be admirably.

Downloaded it from Google Play Store. Works fine un a S6 Edge with Nougat (Noble Nougat Experience 2.0) Installed.
[Android Apps and Games] alexeei:
I'm all day, when i'm not home, have vibrate mode enabled, when at office phone without headphones connected(but Speaki already have option to speak only when it connected) and when at street/bus/undeground headphones is connected, i listen music, phone placed in pocket and i need to know, who call me or send sms, whatsap, etc without take it out from pocket.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
You two are right. It can be consider as bug since it should speak on vibrate/silence mode when Bluetooth or headset connected.

Will be fixed in the next update.

I've tried everything in setup but nothing still work

Sad
[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
Do you have tts installed and set up in you mobile phone settings?

Gave permission for notification access?

Have speaki enabled, not forgotten to turn off screen if enabled and made sure you're on Bluetooth when enabled?

Is the app excluded from any battery save apps and doze mode activation?

Always helpful for a developer is the android version and mobile phone brand.
[Android Apps and Games] alejo2790:
Oneplus 3 user

Hi, first of all thanks for sharing your app its a great idea.

It's pretty useful to hear the notifications without having your phone in your hands, that's why I was using Macrodroid to do that before, but it's not working anymore with the oneplus 3 because of the slider (which switch the profiles of notifications ring, do not disturb and silent) I always keep it at top position (silent) and I thought your app could overpass that "restriction" but it seems doesn't work ass well, so do you think is there anyway to solve that issue??

Again thanks for your work :)

I have a question about the phones voice. I am using Google assistant a lot, and it's voice is so much better than any text-to-speech options. Why isn't the assistant voice available for tts? It is and I am missing something? (I am using German as language)

[Android Apps and Games] grimloktt:
Thnx for the updates! I'm loving this app. Another comparable application that you could look at for possible improvements is Shout. That being said, could I ask for two feature requests?

1) Add a widget to be able to enable/disable?

2) Add a location option to enable it in certain diameters and disable it in others...or change settings under those parameters?

Thnx and keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
I'm quite sure tts is offline (there's a voice pack installed) whereas assistant is online and the voice is coming from server. Or assistant has its own voice pack and Google has not included it in Tts.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
1. Widget will be available soon

2. Location base configuration is already in the features development list but will not be available soon
[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
It's nothing that bugs me that much as the quicktile itself is great, but long press should lead to open speaki app not app information.

And I hope implementation of Bluetooth device choice is moving forward as I'm always at risk of my messages being read out in the shower when I'm connected to my bt box and I forget to turn speaki off XD
[Android Apps and Games] alexeei:
Test new version and now i'm happy =) But could you please check situation-i have ChompSMS installed as default sms app, and wher receive sms, speaki read it 2 times, first -Chompsms, Name of sender, time of message and content and then after 1-2 seconds again - Name of sender and content, may be it's bug or it's feature, i don't know?
[Android Apps and Games] uccoffee.forum:
GREAT APP!!!!

I just wonder is it possible to have option to force to use "english" ? while I use other language in google app etc? please? :D
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
1. It's exactly what I wanted, but Android API doesn't allow to configure a long press for a quick tile. Only system quick tiles currently giving more information on a long press.

2. If no bugs will appears, the next version will be to add a setting to select Bluetooth devices, till then your neighbors will keep hearing your lovely notifications :D

I will check this out.

I can see what I can do

Hi [MENTION=6815004]dEVshr[/MENTION]

Speak only Caller ID and Appname not working.

Please fix it!.

Otherwise super app!!!

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
- Speak only Caller ID not working - do you mean you want to remove Caller ID prefix?

- Speak only Appname not working - do you mean you want only the app name to be read on notification?

[Android Apps and Games] whatsek:
Thank you for a fantastic app, I was looking for an app that speaks my notifications on my Android Wear watch with speaker, but this is my new favorite! Thank you for adding the Bluetooth device selection. Very good addition!

Request: I would like to have a widget to enable or disable (with a timer?) the "All" setting. Example, normally I only want to hear notifications in my car, but when I am at home, doing very important things on my kitchen table (cooking or something like that). I would like to enable spoken notifications for an hour or so.
[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
Just a little warning about the bluetooth device selection, it does not seem to be reliable yet. Was connected with a device that was allowed (car FM transmitter) about ten minutes later I was in my bath and that device is excluded but speaki was reading the messages aloud nonetheless.

Don´t know what it could be though the devices are named totally differently.

Thanks for the app anyway. It is better than what I had until now :)
[Android Apps and Games] whatsek:
Request: use bluetooth device to enable speaki, but select output. So when I am in my car, connected to my carkit, speak notifications through phone speaker.

*** 1.14.0 Update ***

- Speak app's name for unselected apps notifications

- Fix Caller ID not working on Bluetooth

- Improve Speaki capability to decide which notifications to read
[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
I have a request

As we already have tiles, wouldn't it be cool to have a tile for changing the output mode.

I don't know how much Google has enabled dynamic tiles but a changing tile for standard (setting that is set in app, example Bluetooth with specific devices), headphone and speaker would be great.

As we would not have to open the app when we want to change that in a hurry.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
Would think about that. thanks for the feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
I've added a poll in Speaki's Facebook page asking which volume stream Speaki should use:

[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
I don't know but I'm getting speak notifications on Bluetooth for a device that is not selected in the choice for Bluetooth devices
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
Speaki will speak when one of the selected Bluetooth devices is connected.

The app will transfer audio to whatever output is used, means that if you selected only device A, and both A and B devices is connected and can receive audio from the phone, then Speaki will be heard in both of A and B.
[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
Thanks for explaining, but I'm sure I was only connected with that one device.

Anyway I reinstalled and will report back when I have time to test again.
[Android Apps and Games] mcampbellsmith:
I'm getting the same issue. I have one BT device connected and it is NOT selected, but since the lastest updates, I am getting spoken notifications. This wasn't the case earlier.

I'm also getting multiple WhatsApp spoken notifications (ie the same message is read three times). Is this a fault in my settings or in the app?

Thanks for a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
- If one of the selected Bluetooth devices is connected, the other audio device (even if not selected) will hear Speaki speak.

- It's not your fault Speaki read multiple notifications :) Can you please tell me which device are you using and which Android version?
[Android Apps and Games] mcampbellsmith:
Thanks for your reply. I'm using a Google Pixel on Android 8.1

EDIT:

I checked devices, and Speaki definitely is speaking to me on Bluetooth devices that are not selected, even if only one device is connected via Bluetooth.

See attached screenshots.
[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
I have the same problem on my galaxy s7 on Nougat stock ROM.

Things that could be the reason:

I have devices with Chinese signs

I have given a few devices a different name through Bluetooth settings, that is more recognisable (still no name twice or the same name as an activated BT device)

Or it really is a programming flaw...

I'd really appreciate you to look into this subject.

Btw if you intend to translate the app into German hit me up I'd be honoured to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
[MENTION=2709509]mcampbellsmith[/MENTION], [MENTION=5293118]pieceofphil[/MENTION] I will look into this and thanks for the translate suggestion :)
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
A new beta version (1.15.4) was released with a fix for Speaki ignoring the selected Bluetooth devices preference.

[MENTION=2709509]mcampbellsmith[/MENTION], [MENTION=5293118]pieceofphil[/MENTION] you can test the beta version and see if it fix you problem:

[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
Hmm when I first connected to the not activated device it worked (as it stayed silent).

But:

-connect to active device (speaki speaks)

-disable Bluetooth

-enable Bluetooth

-connect to disabled device, no enabled device is connected (speaki still speaks even though toggling Bluetooth on and off)
[Android Apps and Games] bbsnick:
It works extremely well with the Greek language in "Goοgle Allo" and "Facebook Messenger" from my phone speaker!

Also, read the contact names on the incoming calls!!

Small memory consumption on android 5.1.1.

I think a widget is missing on the home screen to easily turn the speaki on/off. Also, an alternative round icon for the application would be nice.

Very smart application and very good implementation !!
[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
It has a quick setting tile if your phone's ROM supports this.

Just add it to your quick settings.
[Android Apps and Games] bbsnick:
What a pity, the quick setting tile is not supported by stock android 5.1.1
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
I new beta version is a available (1.15.5), try it out.

If it won't help, please send me the selected Bluetooth devices name that you are connecting/disconnection for testing.
[Android Apps and Games] pieceofphil:
I'm not sure but this seems to be the fix. Thank you very much ???

Just a newbie question though.

I don't know enough about programming, but wouldn't it be more efficient to use the Bluetooth IDs for inclusion and exclusion, so you can have two Bluetooth devices with the same name and different settings regarding enabled or disabled?
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
Good to hear it fix it for you :)

I'm using the Bluetooth IDs. It's just that Android doesn't let you to directly to know which Bluetooth device is currently connected,

so I had to develop some workaround which built upon Android Bluetooth events.
[Android Apps and Games] 320flyboy320:
Is there a way to have Speaki only announce notifications when in the state of "plugged in and charging"? The reason I ask is because I only want the app to be on when I'm in the car and using Android Auto (when using AA it is plugged into the car via USB cable and is also charging in this state).
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
Sorry, but it's currently not supported, however, there is a plan to add more triggers to enable/disable Speaki.
[Android Apps and Games] 320flyboy320:
OK, thanks for the update...
[Android Apps and Games] casperusm:
hi dev thanks for the nice app

i want to ask one thing how it will say the name of sender instead of the app.

for example, when i get a message on WhatsApp it says the of WhatsApp instead the name of the sender.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
New updates:

Speaki now support emoji alias!

What does it mean?

Speaki now reads the emoji alias instead of replacing it with the constant "emoji" text.

For example, if you get the following notification: "I Love Speaki ?!" it will be translated to: "I Love Speaki Throwing Kisses".

NOTE:

This feature depend on your Text-to-Speech capabilities, if your Text-to-Speech doesn't support emoji alias try to check the new "Replace Emojis" option and Speaki will do it best to translate the emoji (English Only).

Also on the latest updates:

Fix Speaki sometimes not working due to Android new SDK background service limitations.

Have fun ?

Hi [MENTION=6815004]dEVshr[/MENTION],

Thanks a lot for your effort, I use Speaki for CALLER ID feature.

Recently I have upgraded to 'Android P' and now Speaki don't say the names of callers only it announces "Incoming call from UNKNOWN caller". I have re installed and re-granted all the permissions to Speaki.

This may be due to new changes related to Android P. Can you please check this.

Once again thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
This is for sure Pie issue since they changed permissions for phone state.

I didn't had the change to check Speaki on Pie yet. I will check it tomorrow and probably will release a new update shortly if it's only permissions issue.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
[MENTION=4526543]tiniwings[/MENTION] new update is out to fix Caller ID not recognizing phone numbers in Android Pie. Please re-enable Caller ID after updating.
[Android Apps and Games] tiniwings:
Thanks a lot. Its working fine now.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
New version is out (1.17.2)!

Speaki is now running as a foreground service to prevent the OS from killing Speaki process in some situations.

Foreground service must display a notification as shown in the picture. A "Stop" action was added the notification as a shortcut to disable Speaki.
[Android Apps and Games] DE SEXIEST:
Thanks for sharing
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
First of all, thanks for this app. Been using it for quite a while and love it.

Since the last update, however, I've noticed that half the apps I have enabled to speak notifications no longer do. I've tried clearing data and cache, and reinstalling the app with no luck. The Speaki service is also running while I get these notifications so I don't think its about the service getting killed. Any suggestions or reasons why a lot of my apps no longer speak the notifications?
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
It maybe related to some changes I did in the last version.

Can you please provide me the following information:

Your device

- Device name:

- Android version:

Speaki settings

- Screen On? Yes/No?

- Speak Output? Speakers/Headset/Bluetooth?

- Audio Stream? Music/Notification/Ring?System?

- Stop Music? Yes/No?

- Select Apps? is the app selected?

- All Apps Name? Yes/No?

- Content? Yes/No?

Also, which apps desn't get read anymore (at least one).
[Android Apps and Games] DevLooper:
Great app! :) Thank you

-Oreo 8.1

-Screen On=Yes

-Speaker Output=Speakers (All)/Headset

-Audio Stream=System

-Stop Music=Yes

-Apps are selected

-All Apps Name=No

Apps that don't get read anymore include:

101Sports

365Scores

AccuBattery

Calendar (Google)(This one stopped working a month or 2 ago)

KMOV News

The Weather Channel

TheScore

Today Weather

Possibly ESPN (Can't remember that one)

Apps that do get read include:

Google App

Google News

NPR News

Hope this helps and thanks for the response.

Edit:Btw, I did have All Apps Name enabled for a very short time to test and it appeared it did read aloud the app's name for apps not selected.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
Thanks for the information. I will check this out immediately.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
I fixed the issue from the last version + the issue with Google Calendar.

The new version is currently in beta testing. If you would like to participant and send me feedback:

[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
That's great. Thank you very much! I am already in the beta testing (sorry, probably should have mentioned that before ?) and just got the new update. I'll keep an eye on things and provide feedback late tonight or tomorrow morning since some of the notifications I won't get until tonight.

Once again, thank you for such a quick response on this issue. Much appreciated :good::)
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Ok, I've been able to test the apps with your latest update yesterday and here are the results:

Apps previously not working that now work on latest update:good::good:

-AccuBattery

-101Sports

-Calendar (Google)

-The Weather Channel

-TheScore

-365Scores

Apps that still are not working after latest update

-ESPN

-KMOV News

-Today Weather (This one actually never got notifications read and I don't even get a sound notification with this app which leads me to believe its not a problem with Speaki).

So as you can see the results are mostly good. Appreciate you taking the time to look at this and thanks for fixing the apps that are now working :good:

EDIT: Speaki just read a notification from 365Scores so that is apparently working now as well (It wasn't last night ?). I will adjust the results above to show this.
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:
A new version is out including the latest beta fixes + new fixes. Try it out ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Thank you. I certainly will and provide feedback afterwards. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Ok. Been able to test the latest beta release. ESPN is now working as are the other apps I listed were now working :good: .

The only apps that aren't working for me are KMOV News and Today Weather.

As I said earlier, I've never even gotten regular sound notifications from Today Weather so probably not a Speaki problem. So I will ignore that app not working from now on.

KMOV News did used to work for me but still isn't, so that's really the only app that's having trouble.

And now that I think about it, in the past I've had AP Mobile work on and off with Speaki but I've had notifications turned off for that lately. I'll turn them on and test that app as well.

Thanks again for all the great fixes. This app is so handy. Absolutely love it :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Lughnasadh:
Now getting Today Weather notifications read. They added sounds to the app so now its working with Speaki :good:
[Android Apps and Games] dEVshr:

I first want to thank you for all the updates and your continued great work on this :good: .

I did notice on the latest update (1.18.10) that ESPN and also The Weather Channel I believe are not reading the notifications. Both seems to work on 1.18.09. Not sure if its just me or anyone else has noticed this.

If your expect help you should be a bit more specific.

Your phone brand, Android version, app that you want speaki to read out, more information about your speaki settings.
