[APP] SayMyName Dessert

Hello,
At the moment I'm working on a new version of SayMyName Dessert. It's my first app (but it's already on the Android Market for more than a year ) and I just can't stop developing it. Mostly, I blame my users for that. You send me feature-requests, bug-reports, good feedback, bad feedback... even donations!
Currently there are two versions of SayMyName available at the Android Market. One for Cupcakes, and one for Donuts and beyond.
With the upcoming version of SayMyName, I want to merge those versions, fix old, very annoying bugs and add some often requested features.
Why I'm telling you that? Because I need even more feedback, more testers, more contributers D) and some guys who translate my app into various languages.
So, if you want to help me, please download the attached .apk and give me some feedback / requests / whatever comes to your mind. Just leave a reply here at xda or send me a mail. (tomtasche AT gmail)
Thank you very much
Tom
P.S.: If you want to try the old, buggy version of SayMyName, feel free to search the Android Market for "SayMyName Dessert".
edit:
I forgot to mention what this app is for.
Official market-description:
"Want to know who's calling you without looking at your phone? SayMyName reads out loud the name saved in your adressbook and tells you who's calling.
- reads SMS, GMail and K9-Mail too
- very customizable
- discreet mode
- Locale Plug-in
- open-source
- supports non-latin languages too
See website for changelog, etc."
edit:
Changelog:
- reads nicknames!
- fixes, fixes, fixes.
- much more
- mute gestures
- read number-/mail-type (custom labels supported too!)
- auto translate messages (enable "translate")
- improved widget
- fixes
- pause music during speech on phones with Android 2.2
- sk, cs and de translations by David K. (thanks! )
- supports people who can't find TTS Extended in Android Market / don't have access to Android Market
Planned features in near future:
- more translations (any volunteers?)
- bluetooth (maybe I found somebody who can help me! )
edit:
If you want to help translate, download this file and translate the text between the tags:
Code:
<string name="...">TRANSLATE THIS</string>
Return the translated file to me afterwards.
Thank you very much
Tom
PS: Please let me know if you want me to mention your name / mail-address / website.

Thanks! Tell me if you miss something.

I just tried the app for SMS notifications, but it gets interrupted by the notification. I'd like the notification to come first, followed by the announce and then the message. As it is now half the announcement gets killed by the notification.
I tried setting both Reading break and speech delay to 5 (seconds?), but the announcement started immediately anyway.
The app also seems to open a TTS-channel on start, causing noticeable hiss for a couple of seconds.
And the locale-plug-in, is it a separate download? Couldn't see it in Tasker even if I force-stopped it.
Your app seems to perform all the functions I want from TTS-notifications, now I only have to wait for the engine to not sound like a broken record in my language.

Nice, you found a bug! Little workaround until I upload the fix: set the speech delay in SayCaller Settings.

Locale Plug-In is made for Locale 1.0 (beta). I didn't update it yet, because I thought nobody would use it.
I'll note that on my ToDo-list, thanks!

Which Android version performs on your phone? Everything under 1.6 has a REALLY bad voice:

Yup, that's the voice.... Froyo (CM6) on Nexus. Truth be told I don't really like the english voice either, it's just far too synthetic compared to some of the other TTS-engines out there:

Unfortunately I'm not responsible for the voice. It comes from Android, but the AT&T sample is very impressive!
I've uploaded another update at the first post, which fixes speech-delay.
Thanks
Tom
edit:
By the way, you can change the voice in "Speech settings" (linked in SayMyName). Change the "Engine" to "Pico TTS" and you'll get a female voice.

Excellent.
A slightly more convoluted feature request: Do you think it would be possible to change the TTS-language based on which contact a text message comes from? Say for instance if the contacts had TTS=en_US or TTS=sv_SE or any other preferred language in the notes-section?
The reason for this request is of course that I receive messages in different languages depending on the contact, so if I just decide on a language half the time it'll sound even worse than necessary.

Thanks for the hint, but it doesn't seem to work. Probably because I don't use EN/FR/DE/ES.

Now I'm off till Friday. Thanks for testing! Keep reporting.

When I tried the old version from the market the notifications didn't pause the music or podcasts so the text reading was down out by the audio. Using btunes for music and google listen for podcasts. Any progress on this?

Android should pause your music automatically if there's a notification-sound. But I'll see if I can pause music too. Thanks.

Can't get any of these to work on my x10 mini (Android 1.6). Old version from Market works fine but when I install these and try to open them I get a popup saying "The requested item could not be found".
Any idea what's going on Tom?
EDIT: Tried the earlier .6.3 and it seems the app is trying to search the Market for "pname:com.google.tts" doesn't find anything matching that though and just sticks on that screen
EDIT 2: Couldn't find the files on Market but the newest version of it is here:

Well, I think openbook didn't wanted to be rude, but I think his message is very short because he is writing from his mobile.
Maybe at the question "Which langage do you need?", you could have add at the english of your answer, a little "Plz"... Just to show some respect to the developer
Don't forget the developer is sharing this for fun...
Keep it cool guys
See ya.
Zepiii.

cool
very nice idea. two questions...
1) i installed it (i have a Pulse with Froyo) and configured it.
After, i changed sim and started the phone. the program wasnt in the active program list so it didnt send me any sms.
2) the location is from GPS or from telephone company area (like google latitude)?
because the GPS is not always present...
ps. good work!

thanks for your report.
i use the wifi+basesattion to locate the phone caus we don't open gps for power saving.
and i just send two number to email for that it's good for phone to do little work and this can protect the running service from being found out , you know ,the less the app doing ,the safer the app is.

as to the sim card checking ,some guys report the problem and i'm workin on it. : )

I dont speak chinese, is there a English version?

My HD2 is listed as incompatible =(( Please post the APK, thanks in advance.

Here is the apk file sendspace.pl/file/61d7f458771ee34494a2f63
I dont know why ur device is incompatible :/

Great app. I just want to suggest one thing.
In my school, we use one different grade system. It works more or less like that. There is 7 tests, one worthing 10 and the rest, 1 each. Then, then results are added and diveded by 2. Then, we add more 1 point for homework and more 1 for another test.
The suggestion is to you create your own system to grades. I know almost nothing from developening (or whatever it spelt), but I thinks it's simple.
Besides that, it's a great app!
Sorry for English, I'm brazilian, and good luck

I have 2 ideas.
Hi.
I have 2 ideas (requests?).
1. Like a monolingal which is a OSX's program. It will keep some locales which we chosed and delete the other languages.
2. Additional Locale. not like a morelocale2 and so on. additional locale which device have not (not hidden). Normaly, it's too difficult for noob ( I heard specilist can add locale).
Cheers.

another idea: an app that turn screen on a black screen and the icon of notification whenever notification come up (and screen is turn off of course). can you?

An app that lets me see the history of my notifications, even those i've already seen

Game porting
An app for porting armv7 games to armv6. Basically, modifying the .lib files. Also resizing the drawable and re positioning it to fit other resolutions in proportion.

I'm trying to make one myself but can't figure it out.
I want an app that tests the functionality of the phone and tells you what works, what diesnt and what is missing

I found perfect site for creating apps...Yesterday I ended up on some site called apps-machine.com . I have to share it with you guys. I started creating my own app and after 15 minutes clicking on their control panel(no programming,just clicks) I made app in what user could make effects on their photos,paint photos,play music,play videos,have notepad,chat and stream music. They got literally 1000's of features on their control panel I think this could be a gold mine And I read something that they have free app development and so on. Aaand you can change everything all the backgrounds,colors,tabs...and you instantly see it on that same page through their simulator..don't know how they managed to do that but it is super handy...I am super excited at the moment..time to get some apps on apple and play store

[APP][4.3+] Magnify for Instagram - Automatic Hashtag Insertion - Feedback Please

Hi All,
I made this new app which acts as an extension for Instagram on Android to help you add curated hashtags to your photos automatically within the Instagram app without having to switch to a different app for that.
How to add hashtags?
-> Open Instagram, select your photo and proceed
-> On the caption area just type in this format magnify_tagsname or magnifytagsname where tagsname is the Tag Category Name
-> For example, for adding Nature related tags you can type magnify_nature or magnifynature , also for Food tags you can type magnify_food or magnifyfood
Other Features
-> You can schedule your posts for Instagram with this app
-> You can also repost a photo with this
Go ahead, give it a spin and let me know if you face any bugs or other issues.
Download from Google Play -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.upcurve.magnify
Also please comment your suggestions or thoughts on this so that I can improve and make this a better app for everyone. :fingers-crossed:

New update released with some scrolling behaviour issues fixed.
Some feedback would be helpful in making it better

The repost slider doesnt stick so the feature dont work. Also i suggest lowering the price of that app. I was gonna buy it, but 5 eur is too much. 1-2 eur i would pay for it, but not 5.

Just bought it to try out the custom tags feature. Its very slick on how it works. I like it. I'm gonna be trying this out some more in the coming week. One request though, could you make some of the preexisting categories hide-able? I have no use for any of them and would like to hide them to keep stuff clutter free. If this can't be done, I can work around it though. Thanks again for the awesome app!
