Android : SMS App With Text To Speech Via Bluetooth
Apr 19, 2010
I've done a lot of searching for this & haven't found a good solution. Please forgive me if it's already posted, I've really tried to find it!I have a G1, and a Motorola bluetooth headset. I am searching for an app that will speak incoming text messages out loud, both through speaker and bluetooth. Voice-to-text for replies would be a nice bonus but not mandatory.I've tried drivesafe.ly and it does work with the native Android messaging to read texts out loud, but it's speaker-only and will not work with bluetooth headsets. Also, there's no reply via speech-to-text. It also won't recognize or work with Handcent or other messaging programs at all.I am currently trying Handcent, and while I like a lot of the features, it doesn't seem to have any bluetooth support. Also, it doesn't seem automatically speak texts upon receipt although I've seen posts saying it will? There is a button you can click upon receiving an incoming SMS message popup, but by the time you look down & find the button to click it to "read" the text out loud it's kind of pointless. And the voice recognition for speech-to-text is really wonky, but if the rest of it worked (automatically reading messages out loud, and through bluetooth headsets).It seems like it would be such a commonly used app. Is there a good SMS program with these features?

I have a Sprint Galaxy 4. I understand that there is a google speak to text program already installed in the phone but I cannot find it. how to make it work?
Also, it is important to be that a [B]program not only reads the incoming texts but that I can respond to them handsfree via the Blue tooth speaker in my car. Can I do that with the google. program? If not, what is another good program to use?

I would like to be able to say an email or text message to myself or my wife sometimes. When I hold down the input field I get an input choice menu but the only option there is the Android Keyboard.Am I doing it wrong?What am I missing? I would also like to have it read emails to me, and word docs (or just .txt).I have a Kindle but my phone is a little more convenient for something I would rather read in bits and pieces while walking to and fro the car or whatever.

I somehow activated the text to speech for incoming calls and text messages. (Says the name of contact calling/texting).How do I shut this off? I've spent days trying to figure it out with no luck.

I wonder if there is ability to replicate this feature from iOS :
In iOS you can turn on Accessibility function that add the "Speak" button to the "selection menu". And if you click, it would turn on Text To Speech engine and read selected text. Can I do the same thing in Android ?
PS: I assume that regular app could not modify "copy, paste, cut menu" so I probably need custom ROM. (I'm particularly interested Nexus 7 2013 solution, but I assume that solution should be universal because it is just modification to the "Selection menu" and add button)

How can you read data, i.e. convert simple text strings to voice (speech) in Android? Is there an API where I can do something like this: TextToVoice speaker = new TextToVoice();speaker.Speak("Hello World");

One of the new phones has "the button" for instant select sender then speech to text. Big hands little kbd / dang near blind = fail. Is there an app that does the same for my Hero and will it speak my messages back to me. Sure would make my life easier.

I'm cycling with friends of me (organized rides). but I still want to cycle those roads again. I record the track everytime with Cardiotrainer and I can export those workouts to an GPX or KML file. Is there a program were I can import the GPX or KML file and that program exports audio as "within 100 meters go left". A sort of GPS navigation but with audio export and the possibility to imort an GPX and/or KML file. It is necessary that the program can say it in audio and not only text because my Nexus One will be in my backpack.

I'm looking for a way to turn off Pico Text to Speach. I have an HTC Evo, and when I use navigation, I get the voice directions. My wife's phone is a HTC Hero, and she doesn't have Pico TTS installed. When she uses navigation, she get the "old school" tones. That is what I want! Any suggestions as to how to do this (hopefully without having to root the phone).

I know TTS isn't very "good" when it comes to reading ebooks out loud. However, I also have a Kindle and it's good enough. Is there any way to feed ebooks through the TTS program?

We have a 2.1 sdk(eclair) version Samsung device, which has virtual keyboard with a microphone indicator to support speech to text (STT). Our application is mostly a text entry application and uses Inputconnection class and committext method to recognize the inputs and put all the entered text on display. In swype input mode, if we press the microphone, the voice recognition automatically runs(shows recording interface, records, synthesizes and sends text to commit text, and hence it is working. However, for "Android keyboard" input , the recording interface automatically shows up, however, we do not receive committext callback, so nothing is updated on our text box after the recording. So, seems we have 2 options:
1. Disable only the mike/microphone keys visibility on the Android keypad. How can this be done?
2. Have the STT to work on the Android keyboard. Seems that the keypad is automatically starting a recording interface - hence we do not know how to even integrate the voice recognition program given in the sdk 2.1 examples VoiceRecognition.java file. How can we detect the microphone/mike key was pressed? Or how can we do this?

I am attempting to create a wrapper class for Google Android's Text-To-Speech functionality. However, I'm having trouble finding a way to have the system pause until after the onInit function has finished. Attached at the bottom is something of a solution I created based on what I found here: http://stackoverflow.com /questions/ 1160876/android-speech-how-can-you-read-text-in-android However, this solution does not seem to work. Any thoughts on why this might not be working, or what would be a good idea in order to make sure that any Speak() calls happen after my onInit() call? public class SpeechSynth implements OnInitListener
{private TextToSpeech tts;
static final int TTS_CHECK_CODE = 0;
private int ready = 0;
private ReentrantLock waitForInitLock = new ReentrantLock();
SpeechSynth( Activity screen )
{ ready = 0;
tts = new TextToSpeech( screen, this );
waitForInitLock.lock();
public void onInit(int status)
{ if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS)
{ready = 1;
} waitForInitLock.unlock();
}public int Speak( String text )
{ if( ready == 1 )
{tts.speak(text, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);
return 1;
} else
{ return 0;
} I have been able to make it so that I can pass a string of text through the constructor, then have it played in the onInit() function. However, I would really like to avoid having to destroy and re-create the whole text-to-speech engine every time I need to have my program say something different.

This may be beyond the realm of possibility, but if anyone figures out how to add a functional speech-to-text button to the swype keyboard, I will kiss you full on the mouth (ok, probably not the most inviting offer, but it's all I got).

In Android, you can say something and it will search it for Google.
Google can turn speech into text.
How can I leverage this API?

it possible to use the text-to-speech engine to send a message through a voice call? Like an answering machine. It's also possible to monitor an outgoing voice call to read out loud a text when the other point answers the phone?

I am using Text to Speech.
When I set the language using code...
I always get an American accent.
The only way to fix this is by changing the default language setting in the Android system. What am I doing wrong?

I am looking for the best way to provide an audible speech component for my Android application (Eliza Mobile Therapist game). Is the Android TTS (text-to-speech) API viable at this time? I want to call a function from my Java code with the spoken text and hear it (hopefully in different voices/dialects) on the phone. Is this technology currently possible?
