Re: eSpeakCaller like app / voice caller id
 

Guys,let me apologize for this delay.A combination of shutdowns,new contracts,etc, have been a setback for development but I am the barer of good new.Max,my IT guy in New Zealand obtained permission from our communication equipment suppliers (thanks to Mort) to use their software but was only granted access to the synthesis module and the English speaking module,which luckily,was written in Linux,so porting has had its problems but the results have been spectacular.

What we have acheived to date....

1.Speech is in liquid english which is as clear as human speech.
2.Sorry but the only voice module we have is a husky female blonde with a killer figure,long legs and large bust...well in my mind anyway :D:D
3.Options will include reading either number only,name attached to contact only or both..name first number second. This is repeated with a 3 second gap between and stops when call is answered.
4.When a number is received but not listed in the contacts list the words `Unknown Caller` will be spoken and the number spoken after.
5.If a blocked or silent number is received `Private Number` will be spoken.
6.As you dial a number on the keypad,individual numbers and alphabetical letters will be read out.If the dialed number is listed in contacts it will speak `Dialing *your contacts name* and will also pronounce the number.
7.Will work with Bluetooth,either car-mount or earpiece.
8.When you activate silent mode in settings,nothing is spoken until your regular mode is reactivated.This also applies if you turn the phone face down.
9.Reading of outgoing (preview) and incoming messages.
10.You will be able to turn this app on and off.
11.It is not a damon. It starts and stops when a call is recognized so will not kill the battery.

What we can still add...

1.Part of the voice synthesis encoding had a side effect which may not necessarily be legal.Max noted on testing that blocked or silent numbers are exposed via re coding thru the software.
2.Speech to lock screen.If a message or call is received but missed,either `Unanswered Called Received` and name and number spoken or` Unopened Message Received`is spoken.This can be impediment as a user option.
3.Mikko,our ex Nokia IT guy,has offered to completely rewrite the script for the caller/contacts/messages UI and can overcome all the current problems (bugs) whilst redeveloping the way the UI currently looks and acts to a ...ummm...rejected version.

Before we release this `into the wild` we just need any other ideas that may be overlooked by us so they can be discussed.

Again,sorry guys.:(:(

I think you got it covered. May I ask for the video example of the app working. Just a simple sample of that voice. Just curious.
