The Speaking SMS & Call Announcer is an Android app designed to provide hands-free operation of call and message notifications. It uses text-to-speech technology to read out loud caller names, messages, and even identifies unknown numbers.

Helpful Hands-free Assistant

The Speaking SMS & Call Announcer serves as a useful tool when you're busy with tasks that restrict you from accessing your smartphone immediately. Whether you're driving, studying, or immersed in some crucial task, this app ensures you remain in the loop by verbally announcing call and message notifications. Its key functionality lies in its ability to read aloud the name of the contact who's calling or the content of an incoming text message, without requiring you to unlock the screen.

Customizable Voice Features

Speaking SMS & Call Announcer offers a customizable user experience. You can modify both the volume and the tone of the announcer's voice to your preference, ensuring that you hear the notifications clearly. This feature is especially beneficial when you are in noisy environments and need the voice to be louder, or in quiet spaces where a softer tone may be more appropriate.

Convenient Controls

The app also includes handy features to pause or stop the narration. If, for any reason, you wish to halt the voice announcement, a simple shake of your smartphone or placing your hand on the screen will suffice. This feature gives you the liberty to control when and how your notifications are read out, allowing you to check them at your own convenience.

Alerts for Unknown Numbers

In addition to announcing contacts from your phonebook, Speaking SMS & Call Announcer also alerts you when an incoming call or message is from an unknown number. This feature can be particularly useful for screening unsolicited calls or messages, adding an extra layer of convenience and security.
