Announce caller and hands-free texting while driving

Post by AWS » 04 Mar 2014 04:44

Just started using AM this week and loving the possibilities. Made two flows as part of a "driving" group.

1) Tweaks volume settings while the phone is ringing and announces the caller's name over the (briefly quieted) ring tone.

2) Announces you have a new SMS and asks if you want it read aloud. Then asks if you want to respond, listens and reads back your message, then sends it if it's correct. Basically mimics Motorola assist driving function, but is manually enabled (to save battery) and is a little more streamlined (IMHO).

Here's a much more complicated version of the road texts aloud one... Been messing with the volume so it turns your music down low and reads the text at the volume, then returns to previous volume settings after you're done listening and/or responding.

I have also a nexus 5 with the stock rom and rooted and this works perfect. I have even translated the englisch spoken text to dutch.
Great job.

I tried to create this too, but the English spelling of foreign names just breaks it.

I though I could add the "Phonetic name" to a contact's information, but Automagic is unable to read that field.

You have to check the TTS engine's settings and select offline speech recognizeing.

offline was selected...I think it was having issues because I was using Australian English rather than US -English.
