About this app

You also have the option of setting messages to be repeated, if you'd like to hear them twice.

Read My Text Messages is also compatible with Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth car stereo systems.

You will require a Text To Speech engine, most devices have these installed as standard and there are several free options available to install.

Read My Text Messages supports all languages which are available for the Text To Speech engines, simply set your chosen language to have your messages read out aloud to you.

Ratings and reviews

This is a good app. it does exactly what is intended. However, after opening it, it is sometimes difficult to get back to the operational screen to turn off the reading function. It shows only a greeting screen. In those cases, I have to go into "Settings, Apps," select the App, and then "Force Stop." This shouldn't be necessary.

I do appreciate what the dev is doing here. This app does exactly what it says for absolutely free. The ads are not invasive, and the app works very well. However, the reason for the 4 stars is the lack of option to choose what is read. The moment it is turned on, it immediately reads everything without a way to select what is read. You can change these via permissions per app, but if they add a feature for this in the "premium" tier (very affordable BTW), this app would be absolutely perfect.

Would be a lot better if you could control text, email or notifications and you could turn of what you don't want! simply text are sufficient in my case. (unfortunately Plantronics abandoned Vocalyst app and it's customers)
