Hi, I wondered if anyone has come across an app which will speak alerts to me?
Perhaps something like "Text message from Jemima Puddleduck" and "Email from John Doe".
And preferably in a human sounding voice, not that abomination that is the standard Android text-to-speech!
Any ideas?
check out "Vlingo" or "edwin"
Just tried both, but neither does what I want :-(

you won't find any. An app would be alot more than the usuall 0.5 to 2mb. My reason for saying that you won't find any is because the app would have to know every name (and surname!) in the world, also any nickname etc! You'd proboly find that would tell who it is just by spelling the name out letter by letter, and even that wouldn't be very smooth (tone between letters and speed).
hope this helps! good luck!

I don't know if you're right. I don't think it would take that much space. Sure it wouldn't fit in 2megs, but I reckon fifty megs would be sufficient for all known English names. That's just a figure pulled out of my arse btw!
How about a custom message tone for a person that is a recording you have made. You would have to record a message for each person you want this for, Not the most user friendly way but will do what you want.

woow, no need for that kind of sh!t anyways.. what if you have someone saved in as a nickname (Ginger, Gypsy, my 2 favorite contacts ;D) then it would not tell you who was calling you cos the app would not know how to pernounce it..
hope this helps! good luck!

I wasn't being rude/sarcastic so please don't take offence!
I literally meant that I was just guessing how much space would be required
Use this app:

It should work fine
Let us know your experience!

One of the best apps out there is called Tasker. It can do everything! One of it's tricks is you can set it up to read your text messages out.
Is quite tricky to get used to at first, but once you 'click' with it, its fantastic.
It costs £4 (which is a bargain IMO) but there is also a free 1 week trial.

Agree with Tasker, I am using it
BUT .... BUT ...
It does NOT have this say NAME feature.
Tasker can only say the phone number.
The developer plan to add this feature in the next release ... Which we don't know when ... or NEVER

Search for Pageonce, amazing application, at least I seem to think so lol
Yes I have that one. It is a nice app but it doesn't have access to one of my banks.
I believe you can request it, or check their forums to see if others have...

No idea to be honest, sorry. I actually stumbled upon Pageonce because it was in the featured apps about a week ago I believe...decided to just download it because I had free time, and it turned out to be a winner.
ive removed this thread, xda did not ask me to do this, i am doing it on my own, because i no longer wish to make this app public, thank you for your understanding
so this app will connect me to a secured wifi point without entering a password ?
no, lets say youre at school, and you along with everyone else at your school is connected to the schools wifi, you turn on this app, and it will tell you all of the facebook users, amazon users, youtube users ect.. for example it will say facebook: John Dow, Will Smith, Papa Smurf, and so on, with a list of users. just click one of those users, and youre now logged in to their facebook, you can change their status, account info, upload a picture, or snoop through pictures. if youre on youtube, upload a video, change favorites, anything youd do on youtube normally.. if youre on amazon, buy them a flat screen, or some pokemon cards (what ever people use amazon for anyways..) whatever.. get it?
woah !!! that is naughty
im downloading it now lol. its crazy, how does it work ?
I checked my calendar and it shows that April fool's day is 2 months ago.

really wanted to get that post count to 1600 eh? lol ;p
I really don't think this is legal tbh... should it really be posted here?
worked like a charm, dont want to have to pay to unlock it tho please give it out for free
and legal or not i dunno, it works so im keeping it.
Freedom of information ?? im just trying to justify invading peoples privacy lol
as long as it dont happen to me, **** YOU lol
Always connect to those sites using SSL. (use HTTPS in front). Most big websites such as twitter or facebook have an option in your account settings to force use HTTPS and stop storing non-SSL cookies. (but you need to delete current one)
This tool kind of made such attacks slightly more mainstream, although they've been there since ip. http://codebutler.github.com/firesheep/
This is legit. It's been posted over at Engadget.
It is probably completly illegal though

Currently I am building and shortly will be done with my Facebook Metro App for Windows 8 and the idea is to have 2 UI's.
1). Full Screen w/Most Features.
2). Half-Sized w/Basic features so you can use your favorite App's while still accessing your Facebook features, feed and etc.
Question is, what would YOU want added to either UI?
Well u should post some pictures of the program so we can see what it has and hasnt so we can give you opinions When its really upload it and i will test it for sure
After or on Tuesday, I can share the design as I am scheduled with a MS Engineer to help my App have the final touches and tested as well and hopefully first Facebook App in the Store.
Also thanks for responding.

Feature request
Please implement off line messages because the Messaging app won't let you send them
Looking forward to FBMetro! (Suggestion to call it MetroBook instead! )
Do half-sized mean Snapped mode?

Offline messages? As in check for personal messages and grab them and save them for no-connection viewing and respond while offline and when/if connection available automatically send?

Well FBMetro is really just the project name, Facebook already has an App registered as Facebook Metro.
The half-sized mode is in fact the snapped mode... I have included old-SS of which the actual App does not represent anymore as of my meeting with my Microsoft sponsor who wouldn't permit me to go any further with the design, even though I was nowhere near done lol.
Note: Job Discovery is my other App for Win8 and is actually currently a free WP7 App. In the photo you can see that my Facebook App can be used by other Developers to post information from their App using my pre-established Auth to the end-users Facebook Account. Yes, they can actually implement my App to be used by theirs.
nice, where can I get it?
It's coming, very soon!
and here is my idea....
as you may know in our country (iran) we can't access FACE.BOOK...we have to use v.p.n and other pro.xy apps...
it'll be gr8 if you add setting to your app so that we can add pro.xy and these kind of things...(especially pro.xy...)
thanks...

By default, it is installed with Windows 8. There ARE bypasses that will be released though... :fingers-crossed:

Indeed true, I keep figuring out hacks for Windows 8, just released a how to video... World of opportunities lol.
question
hy. I just want to know, when it will be available? could we download it from windows store? I'm a really big METRO UI fan, and I would be happy if I can use facebook in this way.
and of course sorry for my bed english
Cool App!!
I am actually working with someone from Microsoft to get the App Certified, I had to really redo A LOT of the UI as they have made the standards really rough.
Right when it's ready, I will immediately provide the link.
Thanks for your interest!

In my opinion one of the most stupid app form Google. No way to change online status or see who's online are you kidding me?? Only log-out. Old talk was lot better.

Uhm, maybe you are right. But what I see is that Google is shifting the talk to the whatsapp/line/bbm -alike messaging. To think of it, I'd say it's not a bad move though as there's proven track record from the mentioned communication app even though the lack of "see who's online" option.

Maybe works for others but not for me.
First time it's quite confused but after it's very intuitive :good:
