Nice application! I've been testing it for some hours and I found 2 bugs. Firstly, it doesn't start after rebooting, also stated by other users. It also doesn't support Greek characters (UTF8 encoding maybe?).

This is what I did. I edited the private number phrase to a greek phrase ("Άγνωστος καλεί" in case you want to test

). It works until you close the app. then the Greek letters are changed to question marks and it refuses to read it

The problem must be the config file. I think if you change the encoding to UTF-8 it will be fine, but I'm a little bored right now

@Arto
you could try this

in /etc/event.d/

create file espeakcaller-daemon

I did try this approach and got big problems as this starts daemon as root. This version still doesn't start at bootup but I'm looking to get this working in next version. (fMMS has pretty interesting code about this...)

I really don't know why last release didn't show up on devel. Let's see if new version gets there. (takes about 30 mins to autobuilder to compile after this post.)

Im not sure what causes this. I made couple of small changes to contacts handling in new version. Throw a post if this one works better.

great update, thanks!

I just noticed something strange: when I use the (nokia-supplied) wired head-set and eSpeakCaller is enabled, both the ringing as well as the eSpeak output are routed to the phone's speakers, too. not good

no idea why that is or how it could be fixed, though

Hi Arto,

Great update, now it is working well for me, except 1 thing :

- espeakcaller keep saying the callers name, even IF:

1. I push the speaker off button while somebody calling in case i don't want to pick it up but don't want to reject the call.

OR

2., Phone is on SILENT profile.

Could you have a chance to fix these 2 issues please ?

Many many many thanks for your time and help,

Andrew

Hi Arto,

May I ask you a big favour ?

Could you implement a simple whiteboard/blackboard functionality ?

I mean nothing more than a list, where you can add contacts from the the phone contact list and for all those contacts had been added to the list, eSpeak caller DO NOT say their name, like daemon disabled. why for all other contacts eSpeak caller DO say the name as it should.

Could you ? I know it is a big favor, but would be so important to have this feature, for some special contacts where privacy/confidentiality needed.

Many many thanks for your time and help,

Andrew

Got a new problem now, it refuses to speak any of the caller names on my contacts but it does say the text i have typed in when i get an unknown caller ie witheld/private number.
I tried all the usual like uninstalling/rebooting/reinstalling but still nothing....

Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
