Voice Notify 1.3.1 [7ccf0f7]

Voice Notify is an application that delivers status bar notifications using Text-To-Speech (TTS), eliminating the need for users to visually check their screens for notifications.

FEATURES:

• Widget to suspend VN
• Customizable TTS message
• Limit length of spoken message
• Replace text to be spoken
• Ignore specific apps or notifications containing defined text
• Choice of TTS audio stream
• Choice of speaking options based on screen or headset status, silent/vibrate mode, etc.

Note regarding API limitations: A headset connected when the VN service starts will require reconnection for current state detection. All Bluetooth devices are identified equally, regardless if they are headsets or not.

• Quiet Time
• Shake-to-silence
• Custom delay of TTS after notification
• Repeat notifications at custom intervals while screen is off
• Notification log
• Post a test notification

VN operates through Android's Notification Listener service and must be enabled in the Notification Access settings. Shortcuts are conveniently provided on the configuration screen to access Notification Access and TTS settings.

PERMISSIONS:

• Bluetooth - Required for Bluetooth headset detection
• Vibrate - Necessary for Test feature when the phone is in vibrate mode
• Modify Audio Settings - Needed for enhanced wired headset detection
• Read Phone State - Required to pause TTS during active calls

ABOUT AUDIO STREAM OPTION:

The behavior of audio streams may vary among devices or Android versions. It's advised to conduct personal testing to identify the ideal stream. The default Media stream is suitable for most users.

DISCLAIMER:

Voice Notify developers bear no responsibility for the content of announced notifications. It is the user's responsibility to configure VN or their device, or choose not to use VN, to avoid unwanted notifications.
