Description
Read text messages aloud, in real-time, as they arrive, with the ability to skip messages through voice recognition to remain hands free. Great for reading text messages while driving, cycling or anything else where you need your eyes and hands to be focused on something else.
This simple and easy application allows you to read SMS/MMS messages via your in-car Bluetooth audio system or headset, with the option to select specific Bluetooth devices for use. Reading and responding to the text messages through the in-car Bluetooth audio system with minimal configuration.
The application will automatically run whenever a new SMS message is received. There is no need to have the application open or constantly running. It will read the text message as soon as it arrives, hands-free.
The application will also allow you to send SMS replies via an unlimited list of pre-defined user messages or adhoc custom messages. Personalised responses can be added quickly and easily and are accessed by simple keywords defined by you.
The full feature list is given below, with more features being added each release:
- Hands-free reading of text/SMS messages in real-time using the built in text-to-speech (TTS) technology - Support for reading the text portion of an MMS and will specify whether or not the message also contains images, video or audio - Ability to disable the application during specific times of the day - Send replies to text messages, hands-free, through voice commands (premium feature). Replies are controlled through a user-defined list of auto repsonses. In addition, adhoc customised responses can be sent if user-configured keywords (defaults to 'custom', adhoc' or 'free) are spoken when prompted to send a reply. Instead, if 'yes' is spoken (also configurable through user preferences), auto responses will be used. - Bluetooth support to allow messages to be read aloud through in-car audio - Read text messages only when preferred Bluetooth devices are connected - Voice activated prompts to only read when you say so -- Keywords to "repeat" or "skip" messages - Word translation support to ensure those tricky words are pronounced as you would prefer - Feature to read all unread text messages when convenient for you - Settings to ensure messages are only read aloud when you want them to be - User configured settings to ensure text messages are read aloud clearly via bluetooth devices - Control over the volume that is used when reading your text messages - Speak names from contacts list if read contacts permission is granted - Fun little feature to have the phone speak whatever you type - Voice activated commands to perform common functions quickly and easily -- read -- speak -- settings -- enable/disable prompt -- enable/disable bluetooth

UPDATE: I reset the app to Default Settings and it started working as expected. Will probably purchase the premium version to get the voice reply feature. Developer responded very quickly to my query. Thanks again John and great work on this app. This app works fairly well when I am in my car using Bluetooth. The only time I have issues is when I am also playing music from my phone through the same Bluetooth connection. Messages are not read. Is there a way to suspend all other Bluetooth broadcasting so Read Text 2Me will read the message? I am using an HTC 10 Evo phone running Android 7.

Recently moved from a W10 Mobile phone with Cortana. With that device,
Cortana flawlessly read texts to me with a very intuitive interface.
Finally switched back to Android, Samsung Galaxy S9. A great phone, but NO
settings that work to read incoming texts that are intuitive or usable. OK
Google is not working to read most recent texts. Gave this a try and after
some tweaking and emails to developer, this works Fantastic. The voice is a
little mechanical, but after switching to a different voice and pitch, much
better. The developer John is SUPER responsive, and replied within seconds
literally of initial email. Note to other Samsung phone users, the Samsung
stock messaging app uses some protocol to send/receive texts that this app
did not tag as seen. I had to DISABLE "Advanced Messaging" in the Samsung
stock app settings, before ReadText2Me would work with their messages.
Messages sent from other people using other handsets (iphone), worked fine.
Setting message pops up once when changing setting that you will be limited
in your message size. Didn't affect me. I was still able to attach
pictures. Have not tried attaching a video. Bottom Line, works GREAT!
Update 07/07/18, John added button to front of app to enable turning it on
easier, th u!
★★☆☆☆
It don't seem to read my text messages while on my Bluetooth and that was the only reason I would need it
★★☆☆☆
I used the version with ads and was very happy. I purchased the premium
version and after an hour all media on my phone started skipping badly. I
had to delete this app, and as soon as I did my media was back to normal.
Even when it wasn't fielding a message, media errors were constant. It's a
shame because my initial experience was awesome.
★★☆☆☆
Keeps screaming at me "which auto response do you wish to send." I paid for
the upgraded version. If I wanted to send canned messages I would just use
my vehicle's system

Bluetooth connection - any connection - you having a laugh with that option? Deleted
