Just the native one, as provided by Mr. Fluffy
It is basic, I suppose, but at the end o th day I just need something that pulls stuff off the 'net - I mostly download podcasts to listen to later, that kinda thing.

Exactly the same as me, also monitoring some torrent trackers!

I just remembered about viigo. I had a BlackBerry Pearl and used to use that for downloading podcasts and different feeds from the net. Check it out, it's a good app, easy to use, pretty user friendly - and free
Cheers

i use upvise www.upvise.com
it is very fingerfriendly, you can manage it on pc or pocket pc and has a low need of transfer.

I use opera mini 5 and it has a pretty handy built in RSS reader.

ePub Speech to Text

I'm looking for an app that can read my epub books aloud.
I've tried this one ( https://market.android.com/details?id=v00032.com.wordplayer&feature=search_result ) but the voice is just plain text to speech; the voice is downright awful. Not only that, but there's no pause, and it only starts at the beginning of a chapter.
I know Moon+ also does it, but it's $5. Has anyone used the text to speech on it and can comment on how well it works? I'd love to hear how it sounds, but I haven't found any videos on YouTube etc of this feature being used. If the voice is just as bad as WordPlayer, I'd rather not waste the $5. And 15 minutes seems too hasty to test this out.
Is there any other way to have epub books read aloud via some Android app?

if yuor talking about that female sounding death voice then it's android itself that does it. I dunno if theres a way to change it.

LOL!!!! Yeah that one

Anyone have any more input?

i'm sure i read about an app that has other voices that can be used for this. i believe it was a paid app but i have no idea what it was, sorry

Aye, just found the "SVOX" ones. But very very expensive....

Yes, SVOX Classic. Each language pack costs $3
But still you will not get a feel of audio books. The book reading app needs to incorporate some intelligence.

on{X} Automate youlife by Microsoft

Hi All,
Microsoft is launched an application called on{X}.
This application is like tasker but it can do much more for novice users as it worked on Javascript and You will get the javascript code from any website so easily.
Installation Link
Type in google play : on{X}
Video Link
Type this on you Tube : on{X} - automate your life
Sorry for the links, as I'm not eligible to paste outside links in this forum.

What is the benefit for microsoft? I mean, it's free, so what do they get from it?

I would assume that with a larger user base (android), it'll give a nice boost to on{X}'s "recipes" which is always a great thing as it will serve as references to other platforms running on{x} in near future
Yield is everything when it comes to such approach (on{X})

Can someone tell me the huge different to tasker oder automateit? It looks like that its the same with programming instead of klicking?

There is just one thing I don't like on this app:
Facebook login and using my private data
Why such app need to do this, and why can't I use other login possibilities?(windows live, google etc?)

you cannot do as much with one ex as with tasker. also you need to do the recepies on your pc and then push to your phone and as retsam88 said, you have to log in via facebook. so, tasker is the better solution for me.

When something looks free, it's usually because YOU are the product.

Lol, Gmail is free but you don't see us asking that But seriously, there's nothing wrong with them increasing their userbase. Thats why you see Google apps on iPhone.

[Q] Locally-Stored Android App

I am new to the app scene. I was curious if there was a way to store apps locally, without the need of sales/Play Store/Amazon Store/etc.
I am just looking at storing it locally on a phone, or possibly a tablet, to show to potential clients. And also for portfolio purposes, down the road.
Again, I am a self-professed "noob", so all help is appreciated.
Thank you.

unless it is your personal app, you will need to get it from one of the stores at some point.
some apps can be downloaded by other means, but that is highly frowned upon, and against the rules to even discuss here (so please dont comment back on it).
if your device is rooted, you could use an app like titanium to make a backup of all the apps. then they would be saved locally, but i dont know how compatible that backup would be if you tried to restore it on other devices.
i would think if its a paid app, there is likely some entitlement verification coded into the app. so if it cant verify through one of the stores, it likely wont work properly if at all.

It would be apps that I build. So it would be for my own personal use. Like I said, it's to show potential clients. I would be using it to show how an app works, as a display to the client.
It will be my work. And it will be strictly for my clients.
All help is appreciated.
Thanks.

once you install an app on any device, from any source, you can use
1.apk extractor
2.es file explorer
to have the apk file, which can then be run on other devices as an installer.
or, you could dowbnload the apk straight from google play, search how with the search button.

Ok help me understand this.
It will be your app. One you make for your clients. which would mean your doing all the coding and building of the app, But you dont know how to store a simple apk on your device?

Yea, that was kind of confusing me too.
If you build the app, you can store and show it on any device its compatible.
I must be missing the issue here.

Yeah, like I said, I am completely new to this. I haven't even developed an app yet. I just wanted to visually, in my head, figure out how to display it to clients. I have clients. It's just a matter of developing apps, as far as coding.
I'm sorry if my questions are either dumb or easily answered. Thanks for all the help, though.
Regards.

OK man then you are getting way ahead of yourself. First your gonna need to learn a few programing languages. Like Java and C+. Hell I would even start by reading these forums for a while as you seem like you really have no idea what your getting into.

I already searched.
Maybe - try just opening the Voice-Recorder app and if you connect your Loudspeaker/Headphone, don't choose HEADPHONE to make this work. Choose LOUDSPAEKER as recogniƶed device.
