Hi Arto !

Latest version BUG report :

- Special "ancient" chars problem back ! It was solved earlier, but now again, if I use local (hungarian) special chars, e-speaker calls stop saying the name. This bug can be repeated anytime if you add specific test into Speak section input box and push the test button. Once more, it was ok in previous version, and bad now.

Could you have a look please whats went wrong ?

many Thanks,

Andrew

Some times if i reject the call it goes into a loop saying the callers name over and over untill i reboot the phone, can't replicate that 100% it's more like 3 of 5 times,
It doesn't speak if it's in silent mode.
I don't have bt headsets myself so I don't think I can currently add support for those.

I made small changes to code when call is rejected so test new version if it works any better.

About silent mode I'm not sure if it should speak anything as it is "silent" mode (should there be option for this?)

It might be possible but I think someone should make completely new program for this one (eSpeakSMS? )

Function for this is now rewriten. Try if new version works better

I made pretty dirty function for this one.. Test and report if it works for you.

Yes please do add a selection to the tune of "speak while in Silent profile" it would be extremely usefull to me....
While i am at work i always have my phone in silent mode but i do need to know who is calling me without taking my phone out cause my hands are always bussy typing or doing something else and i always answer through my bt headset.

Thanks in advance and as usuall thank you SO SO MUCH for making this app possible for us.

Big thanks from me too. I have only had the app <24hrs, but so far it looks great.

Just writing to say "me too" to this feature: The ability to have a setting like "when wired or BT headset is connected, and phone is set to "silent", do report name in headset anyway." It looks like some people also would like "when wired or BT headset is connected, and phone is NOT set to "silent", ring phone but say name in headset only."

Personally folks, if others are interested in this feature and the author says he doesn't have a BT headset, we should all pitch in to buy him one. I'm in for sure. Arto, would it make a difference? Do you have a PayPal account or other means of donating?

First of all, thanks for the great app, Arto.

I just have one question about this. Would it be extremely difficult to make this app drain the battery at least a little less, if not in the next version, in some later one then?

Here is a little backing for this:

I'm using my N900 allways on 2G mode to make the battery last longer. If I'm not running eSpeakCaller, the battery lasts about 2,5 days on my average use. But, if I start the eSpeakcaller, the battery will be empty in less than 20 hours.

For example, yesterday evening I unplugged the charger at around 11pm (battery was full) and started eSpeakCaller. This morning at around 8am the battery level was already only at 47%...

I have made some basic checking using (only) top command, and I think the most battery draining process while running eSpeakCaller, is pulse audio. I'm not absolutely sure about this, just some info if it helps you to tackle this in some later release.

I have also noticed that the battery draining does not stop if eSpeakCaller is set to not say the caller id or closing the app, I have to reboot the device if I want to achieve that.

Thanks in advance!

Why not just make a new profile with a silent mp3 for the ring tone, then espeakcaller will still say the name, but no sounds of ringing are there

Re "espeakcaller should shut up if the mute-ringer button is pressed when the phone is ringing"

It works for me. Thanks!
