SpeakThat! Notification Reader

SpeakThat! Notification Reader

Overview

• SpeakThat! is a free, open-source Android app that transforms your incoming notifications into spoken audio.

• Unlike typical alternatives, SpeakThat! puts you in the driver’s seat, offering unparalleled control over what gets announced and how it sounds.

• Best of all, it functions entirely on your device—no cloud processing, no data tracking, and absolutely no hidden costs.

Privacy and Philosophy

• Truly Open: The source code is available on GitHub for full transparency and community contribution.

• Local-Only: Since all processing happens offline, your data never leaves your phone.

• Zero Cost: Completely free, forever. No ads, no subscriptions, and no in-app purchases.

Precision Control

• Selective Auditory Filter: Use white/blacklists to choose which apps speak and which stay silent.

• Content Grooming: Use a word filter to scrub or replace specific terms, and set content caps to handle long messages gracefully.

• Private Mode: Anonymize sensitive notifications by announcing the app name without exposing the actual message.

• Formatting: Customize how a readout sounds by crafting your own sentence structures using placeholders.

Seamless Interaction

• Gestures: Instantly silence a readout by shaking your device or covering the proximity sensor.

• Intelligent Timing: Add delays for a more natural flow and use "Smart Logic" to trigger specific behaviors based on your connection status (e.g., Bluetooth).

• Automation: Integrates with tools like Tasker and MacroDroid for advanced power users.

Customization and Support

• Audio Flexibility: Adjust the pitch, speed, and language of the text-to-speech engine to your exact preference.

• User Experience: Built with a clean, modern interface that makes complex configuration simple.

• Reliable Help: If you run into a snag, you are supported by a responsive developer who creates, maintains, and iterates on the app personally.

Designed for You

• Whether you are a professional keeping your eyes on the road, an athlete in the middle of a workout, or someone looking for a more accessible way to interact with your digital life, SpeakThat! adapts to your lifestyle.

• While an optional accessibility service is available for enhanced reliability, the app remains fully functional without it.

• Your phone, your notifications, your rules.
