Description
Speaks the Songs and Toasts the Tracks.
ANNOUNCER
Tune Announcer speaks the track name and artist when playing music using the built in media players, or others that support scrobbling.
It's useful if you have a large music collection and cannot see the screen to check the names, e.g whilst exercising.
It uses the native Text-to-Speech capabilities of the device to speak. If you don't like the way it speaks, or pronounces words, then download an alternative TTS provider for your device. Try the SVOX ones, they may be better!
TOASTER
Tune Announcer also toasts the song details whilst speaking. Shows the album cover, track name, artist and album name. The free version only lightly toasts, about 1/3 of the time. For well done toasts, go Pro.
The details of the tune pop up are large enough to be read comfortably and safely whilst driving.
Toasts can be enabled and disabled independently of the Announcements.
Pro version is available with additional functionality:
- no adverts
- toggle widget for speech
- notification icon
- configure the application to ignore certain characters and symbols when speaking.
- well done toast
- speak album name
- free format speech mode allows you to choose what parts to say and where to place them.
- option to ignore all text in brackets when speaking.
- tasker support to enable or disable toasting and announcements
- force all speech to be in English (British)
- limited support for Google Music
- speak at the end of the track, rather than the beginning
See the website for more details.

Why do u guys need something to tell u the artist/song title that you're listening to on YOUR OWN mp3 player/library ??? You should know already !!!

It's OK wish the voice would announce the information before the song starts and not in middle of it like it does. But other then that it rocks.

TTS on my phone isn't as loud as this app! & voice sounds horrible, hard to understand. Uninstalled until volume control available. DROID2

Works very well. Only thing I wish were poss is to have announcer volume match music level. Soft music and loud announcer w my settings. Dx
