Hi, I wondered if anyone has come across an app which will speak alerts to me?
Perhaps something like "Text message from Jemima Puddleduck" and "Email from John Doe".
And preferably in a human sounding voice, not that abomination that is the standard Android text-to-speech!
Any ideas?
check out "Vlingo" or "edwin"
Just tried both, but neither does what I want :-(

you won't find any. An app would be alot more than the usuall 0.5 to 2mb. My reason for saying that you won't find any is because the app would have to know every name (and surname!) in the world, also any nickname etc! You'd proboly find that would tell who it is just by spelling the name out letter by letter, and even that wouldn't be very smooth (tone between letters and speed).
hope this helps! good luck!

I don't know if you're right. I don't think it would take that much space. Sure it wouldn't fit in 2megs, but I reckon fifty megs would be sufficient for all known English names. That's just a figure pulled out of my arse btw!
How about a custom message tone for a person that is a recording you have made. You would have to record a message for each person you want this for, Not the most user friendly way but will do what you want.

woow, no need for that kind of sh!t anyways.. what if you have someone saved in as a nickname (Ginger, Gypsy, my 2 favorite contacts ;D) then it would not tell you who was calling you cos the app would not know how to pernounce it..
hope this helps! good luck!

I wasn't being rude/sarcastic so please don't take offence!
I literally meant that I was just guessing how much space would be required
Use this app:

It should work fine

One of the best apps out there is called Tasker. It can do everything! One of it's tricks is you can set it up to read your text messages out.
Is quite tricky to get used to at first, but once you 'click' with it, its fantastic.
It costs £4 (which is a bargain IMO) but there is also a free 1 week trial.

Agree with Tasker, I am using it
BUT .... BUT ...
It does NOT have this say NAME feature.
Tasker can only say the phone number.
The developer plan to add this feature in the next release ... Which we don't know when ... or NEVER

Nice one! This does pretty much what I want, and you can customise it quite a bit too - thanks very much
If you guys haven't gotten it yet...get it! Awesome app! It allows watching Youtube vids in HQ even on 3G! =D HTC got it right!
So is this a HTC only app?
I honestly don't know. It's definitely an HTC made app, but it doesn't appear under HTC Apps in the the Marketplace, it appears in the general apps section.
not finding this in marketplace, still can only find the basic youtube app and the one by lazyworm.

Not yet. My HD7 is resting peacefully while my HD2 gets to use the sim card. Once I've had my fill of HD2 goodness, I will boot up the crown jewel for a luxury ride and install the app.
Here's some screenshots...Sorry for the crappy shots, but you get the point...

thanks for posting it. Wonder why I can't find it on my hd7. I'll keep looking.
for all y'all looking for it, try going to marketplace/ apps/ music and video/ free. It was the first one there, but I couldn't find it by searching.

No prob. I just went into Apps then sideswiped to new and it was about 10 apps down, under Holy Bible. Correction, 1 app after that, between GPS4Me and Soniccasting.

didn't show up under search.
Now if it only allowed you to login to see your subscribed videos....
Much higher quality video over data and wifi and it shows the lighter color download bar as well so you know if its gonna buffer.

The decision to let hardware makers customise only by individual apps is starting to pay off. The fact that HTC are the only ones to have a native YouTube app (which imo is a stupid thing to leave out of the OS, but only cause I use YouTube a lot) is making me strongly lean towards one of their devices over samsung

The thing is, all WP7 phones can use HTC apps. The Hub is available not only for HTC phones, but also Samsung and LG.

I didn't think that was true. Each OEM has their own apps, like htc has the only flashlight app that uses the flash of the camera.
Great find OP! Now only if someone would come out with tune-in radio app for WP7.

My wife recently asked me about "log me in" for her phone but the app is a bit expensive. Is there one that works just as well and is free or at least cheaper?
TeamViewer is excellent.

Yes TeamViewer is probably one of the best alternatives out there to LMI.
If you have Windows 7/Vista/XP Pro or 7/Vista Ultimate, you have Remote Desktop as an option. If so, Remote RDP Lite has worked very well for me. You can only store one connection profile at a time, but otherwise it seems to be fully functional. There's also a Remote VNC Pro w/Ad if you want to go the VNC route.

I get free apps from a source I won't list here but if I enjoy it, I buy it. Titanium Backup, Slingplayer Mobile, etc etc. As for remote desktop viewing I'll try both and let you know? lol
hah applanet is the best. a bunch of free apps. applanet.net. i rarely use it though. only on apps that i think are overpriced for the wrong reasons (enter logmein)

most apps have a free version so you can try it out. and if you uninstall a paid app within the refund window, you get your money back automatically.
I assume you know these things, and are just making excuses for stealing.
just use team viewer i use it everyday and works great!

Yeah I was stoked about it at first, but this app royally blows. It's seriously NO different than opening your browser on the phone and going to docs.google.com. You still can't edit formulas in spreadsheets (a must since I do my budget on there), and the editing interface is just as bad as the web page, in that you click on a line, have to edit only 1 line at a time and have to save it after editing. Why not just let us edit the cells individually? Thanks for finally getting around to mediocrity Google.

I have to admit that I haven't really explored the app very well. But at least it is a start. Maybe make a comment on the app page and email them as to how they can make it better?

My problem with it is that it's literally no different than just opening Google Docs in your browser. I'm just not sure why it was even made if they were going to do it like this, that's all.

The app is supposed to be able to perform OCR on text photographed with the phone. Anyone get this to work very well? Every time I've tried it (on different forms of source text) it just one line of the text, or a few scattered letters. Seems like it could be a handy function, if it worked.

Ah yes, that is a VERY useful thing! Glad to see that there are indeed more features. I just tried it and it's actually very good; I just scanned a page from a book, and although it has a few odd formatting problems, the text was almost perfect. Nice job Google.
ive removed this thread, xda did not ask me to do this, i am doing it on my own, because i no longer wish to make this app public, thank you for your understanding
so this app will connect me to a secured wifi point without entering a password ?
no, lets say youre at school, and you along with everyone else at your school is connected to the schools wifi, you turn on this app, and it will tell you all of the facebook users, amazon users, youtube users ect.. for example it will say facebook: John Dow, Will Smith, Papa Smurf, and so on, with a list of users. just click one of those users, and youre now logged in to their facebook, you can change their status, account info, upload a picture, or snoop through pictures. if youre on youtube, upload a video, change favorites, anything youd do on youtube normally.. if youre on amazon, buy them a flat screen, or some pokemon cards (what ever people use amazon for anyways..) whatever.. get it?
