Voice Alerts - your android speaks

[acorbi]

Hi frandroid community,

I'm sorry i don't speak french, but i want to introduce you my new Android app because i added support for french language so i thought it would be interesting for you.

VoiceAlerts is an application for the android mobile platform, its goal is to alert the user with speech messages when the following events occur:

Incoming/Missed Calls: Alerts the user when receives a call, speaking the name of the contact. Configure repeat mode for missed calls alert.

Time changes: it can be configured to “speak” the current time in 15,30 and 60 minutes intervals. For instance: “it is 20 hours 15 minutes”

Sms received: A voice alert informs the user that a new sms is received, it can be configured to read the content as well. And to translate the most common sms abbreviations while reading the content for instance: c u l8r -> see you later.

Battery alerts: The user can specify a battery level (for instance 5%), below that level the app alerts the user with a voice message about the current battery status. Also, when the battery is completely loaded.

Memory alerts: A voice alert informs the user when the memory level is too low. When the battery has been completely loaded…

Message on Boot: You android welcomes you with a customized message.

Application Installed/uninstalled: It will be informed when an application package is being installed or removed.

Network availability: Your android informs you when the connection to the network is interrumpted ( in an elevator or tunnel) and re-established.

Wifi connections: Informs you when your phone connects to a wifi network.

Support for different languages (Spanish, English, German, Italian and French).

Added Widget to Activate/Deactivate the App easily and quick.

Lots of new features. (Headset activation, Notifications)

[Profete162]

Je sais pas si il reviendra sur le forum répondre aux questions...Il s'est peut-être inscrit sur plein de forums puis s'en va...

Vais essayer de le contacter par Mail ou sur son site, car son app semble assez intéressante et pratique!

[rastalion]

nobody test ?

[devastator]

Ca ne doit pas marcher en 1.5 ( inconnu sur le market ) .

Snifff :mad:

[acorbi]

Hi,

Thanks for the interest on the APP.

@Ldo The Locale Plugin is a fantastic idea, i will work on it for future releases.

@rastalion The app does exactly what you say if you activate the "General Settings > Override ringtone" option.

@devastator Voice Alerts is available for Android phones with version 1.6 or newer.

if you have other ideas/suggestions/complaints/bugreports , please don´t hesitate to send me an email.

Best Regards,

Alex Corbi

For the time, it's not possible to test this version on my Hero !

Do you think to run this application on android 1.5 ?

Sorry for my poor english :/

[rastalion]

damn I have a hero two

idea, yess possibility to change voice (already done ?)

[Ldo]

je viens de l'acheter :cool:

premier problème, mais c'est plutôt inhérent à Android et ses 3 milliards de volume différents

il faut penser à régler le volume de la synthèse plus fort que le volume de la sonnerie

la lecture du numéro de l'appelant fonctionne (mais en même temps de nos jours on a tellement plus l'habitude de mémoriser les numéros que d'entendre 0123456789, ça nous fait une belle jambe :/)

après certaine fonction n'ont pas l'air de fonctionner, mais c'est peut-être juste moi qui ai mal configurée la chose

disons qu'en l'état si je m'écoutais, je désinstallerais, mais avec la roadmap qui arrive ( intégration avec Locale et twidroid :D :D :D) je vais probablement le garder plus de 24h ...

HI community!

A new update of Voice Alerts Full is available on the market :

In this new Version:

Little bug fixes done.

Time Alerts > 12h Format : Reads the time in 12h format.

Data Sync : Informs you when online data like emails, calendar entries, etc are being synchronized.

Speak various unread SMS : if you received some SMS, and you configure Voice Alerts to pop up a notification when you receive them, your android reads them one after another.

Soon new cool features including Twidroid integration are coming, stay tuned.

Hello

some "force close" with the widget in full version after a long stanby

htc magic 32A

[acorbi]

Hi Ldo,

thanks for informing, could you please use "Log collector" app (available for free on the market) right after that issue occurs to send me a system log , with that i could try to resolve the problem.

Anyway i will check it this weekend.

If you guys find some problems or have new ideas/suggestions, do not hesitate to write me an email

Thanks again.

Alex.

HI Cajl,

Wich Android version is your Archos 5 IT using?? is it Android OS 1.5?

Voice Alerts is supported only by the versions 1.6 and newer, so if you don't find it, i suppose it would be because of this.

[cajl]

archos is on Android 1.6

and impossible to search voice alert on the market

with Archos 5 or with the acer liquid
