Hey all,
I am looking for an TTS app that will read texts in the stock SMS program. I looked at Drivesafe.ly and it reads the texts upon arrival but couldnt figure out if I could get it to read on command. I'd prefer not to have texts read upon arrival, could lead to embarasing situatons. lol
Vlingo with in car will read texts to you, either on receive or just manually

I'm feeling a bit stoopid, can't figure out how to get Vlingo to manually read the text message. I guess I'm looking for an app that will allow me to press a button like fun>spacebar and have the text message read to me. Anything like that out there?
When you open vlingo and select in car it will turn on safe reader that automatically reads incoming texts, which you said you dint want. Under the incar menu though is a big safe reader button that let's you choose which text you want read.
Just doing it from the messages app though i couldn't help ya
Edit: ahh yeah sorry missed the from stock sms part in first post.

I remember an app that a couple friends of mine had on their iPhone. 1 person could record a message and send it to the other. the second person would not hear the message until they went into the app. I cant remember what it was called so I was hoping someone here would know what I was talking about. I know there are a couple walkie talkie apps but I prefer to listen to the message when i want. anyone know what app that is and if there is anything similar for droid?
Um, call them and leave them a voice mail?

I believe in spring vvm u can start a new voice message and send it to a specific number.
When in apk hit menu then compose
Heytell is a walkie talkie app, but I believe that you can turn off auto play. You would get a notification that you have a new message, but would actually have to press a button to make it play.

Looking for an sms app that can report back to me when a message i sent has been read by the receiver. Need this for work been looking all day and havent found it.
Handcent says its does this but everyone giving feedback on that app are saying horrible things about missing text/not receiving text. I installed this and tried it sending about 30 text and 2 werent received until like 10 minutes later
Gosms - not sure if it does have this capability looked at the details of what this app does and didnt mentioned it did.
smspop up- doesnt do it just gives a delivery report. Which is understandable since this is just to make your sms pop up.
theres another one cant remember the name of it but the recipient has to have the app installed as well and has to be sent from that app.
Anyway to make the stock app do this?
**Mod's Delete if you want or merge but i searched over and over on this site and other sites and did not find the answer. Posted on here instead of general android app because this is the phone i use so im always looking at this thread.
Just use Kik messenger and get all your friends to join. It is live messaging and shows when messages are read. Just a thought, not exactly what you wanted as it doesn't work for SMS. A cool thing is it also tells you if they are typing.
Not sure if Handcent does that or not.

the thing is i need that feature for the text i send to coworkers.

It won't work with normal texts. Kik/all those other apps are able to show when messages are read because they're internet-based.
Only certain carriers allow it. Not sprint .

gonna take a look at that app. does it have issues with not receiving or taking too long to receive a text.
Edit: looked at the feedback and many complaining about not receiving text and many not being able to send messages but I guess ymmv

You can try updating your prl and profile. It might be the tower you were currently at mighta been being worked on and the text just went slow. The other possibility is the other persons phone and or network.

I was having the same problem, it is a part of google voice integration. If you send messages using the google voice app instead of the messenger app it is less of a problem. I think there is a problem with a google server

Am I alone on this? Since yesterday I was receiving all my text to the messaging app instead of google voice, I checked the setting I still was on GV all texts and just now a message from GV pop up saying how to make the calls, and the only option given was Do not make calls from GV. Now I tried to send a text from GV and it doesn't give me the bottom rectangle to type.
Anyone?

i use gv to text all day long at work, and haven't had any issues with it lately. so it's gotta be a setting on your account that's causing issues. have you logged into the website and checked your settings there? sometimes the app doesn't always make the changes.
Thanks for the reply, I had to basically install it again and its working just fine now.

weird i can send fine from the message app but if i try GV it just goes away. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling GV but its still not working :-(
Also if i click the contact and then choose GV it goes to GV but nothing shows in the message box but if i choose the messaging app, what i told google to send will be in the box. this is just weird

Did you check your sent, outgoing box? I don't think Google Voice is updated to work with Jelly Bean yet. At least the voice part of it...
Yeah its not in the outgoing either

Same here, reported it to google a little while ago, only seems to affect GV, the normal messaging app works just fine
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34175
also, typing 'send text to <contact>' into the search box then selecting GV does send the message, it's just the speaking the command part that doesn't seem to work.

Well I wish I had seen your post before I hard reset but at least now I know it won't fix it. Thanks for your help hope it gets fixed soon

Guys. Wait for the fix from Google.

Hey guys, I also have another issue with Google Now Voice Search. When I ask for weather forecast, it always returns result for Washington DC although my current location is Dallas, TX. The weather card in Google Now main screen displays the correct location, though. Anyone has the same problem?
P/s: I managed to get OTA update to JB 4.1.1 by doing the clear framework trick and restarting my phone several times, does that have anything to do with the above issue? Thanks!!!
is google doing anything to solve this problem ??
I haven't seen any updates to google voice app lately
