Voice Notifier Free

IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE DEVELOPER:

Google has recently updated (effective January 2019) its policy regarding which apps are allowed to access the phone's call log and SMS data. According to the new policy, apps that provide "SMS or Phone Notification, Alert, and Management" will be disallowed from now on access to the call log and sms data. I have applied for an exception but it was rejected. Obviously, Voice Notifier will no longer be able to provide some of its core functionality and, hence, I will have it removed from google play store. Many thanks to all of you for your support so far. Haris Baltzakis, developer of Voice Notifier.

UPDATE FROM THE DEVELOPER (January 2019):

An extension has been given to comply with the new policy until March 9. I have reapplied for an exception but it has been rejected again. I will have this app removed from Play Store the first week of March. Hopefully old users will not be affected.

Voice notifier will notify you of a variety of phone events using android's embedded Text-to-Speech capabilities.

Voice notifier is a great accessibility tool for people that find it difficult to read text on their devices.

Voice notifier can also be very handy for people than find themselves in situations where they cannot use their hands to pick up the phone, to check a notification or to read an incoming SMS message (e.g when they are driving).

Voice notifier will announce incoming calls, SMS messages.

Voice Notifier will also announce a variety of system events (battery status, WiFi connection status, etc)

- Can be configured to announce the time every hour (hourly chime).

The list below highlights some of the most important features of Voice Notifier:

- Incoming call and SMS notifications can be configured to contain the contact name,

the phone number, the last three digits of the phone number and/or any other arbitrary text before or after the contact name or the phone number.

- Can be configured to read aloud the contents of SMS messages as well.

- You can either use the default Text-To-Speech (TTS) engine, already built-in your mobile phone or any other TTS engine you find and download from the Google play store.

- You can customize the language to any language your Text-To-Speech engine supports. Google's engine already supports Dutch, English (India), English (United Kingdom), English (United States), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Spain) and Spanish (United States).

- The user-defined ringtones and sound notifications are not replaced by voice notifications. The phone rings normally using the selected ringtones and sounds. Voice notifications are played in the background at a user-defined percentage of the ringtone and/or notification sound.
