Hi all,

I was wondering if you can assist. I'm looking for an application, not sure if it exists, that would enable the BB to read an SMS or email. Is there such a thing? Can you please provide a few examples?

Thanks in advance,
MD

Text To Speech is really needed. I would just love to be driving along and have my BlackBerry read me an incoming email or SMS.

Right now I do not know of such an app. Sorry. If I did, I would already be using it.

Funny, I was thinking about the exact same thing earlier. That would be an awesome app.

That's exactly what I would like to use it for. I mean, we have hands-free phone calls, then why not hands-free SMS/email.

I think a few of the Nokia's have this feature, the N75.

Text to speech would be great. How many people out there - west coasters at 8am catching up on 3 hours of east coast email - try to read their Blackberry email while driving to work? Actually, I dont want to know - that's a scary thought...

I know of one, im am a BB freak, just had to mention that first before saying what im about to say. My co-worker has a HTC with WM, WM has a built in feature with their VAD that annouces incoming calls, e-mails and SMS. Im looking into it now.

Guys I found a cool TTS (text to voice) application in App World today, I guess its a very recent addition .. called mailTalk by Maildover (?) go to BB App World, under productivity and utilities->on the go productivity, or just search for "mail" ...

The GUI is not state of the art but it works nicely for me, I have Storm, Verizon .. you can choose either auto mode where it reads every new email as it comes, or manual mode where you invoke it when u want. Choose either male or female voice, female voice sounds kinda German?? anyway have fun .. its nice when u driving the car or walking etc, may help also people having troubles reading the small print

I tried installing MailTalk on a Curve 8330 (does not have WiFi, but does have OTA) and when I select "Go!" from the menu, I am getting this message: "Cannot send txt msg to server, check Internet Connection". Any ideas?

Will it do both emails and text messages?

No sms reader

Go to DriveSafe.ly beta
This is a new app. It will read you txt and email. It is still beta. I wish we could find something to one that will read and we could talk to txt or mail back.

Have they come out with an app that can read the text in a web page? I spend a lot of time doing research for work; construction management. It would be handy to pull up the code book and have it speak the code.
I know Vlingo can get me to the web site, but I do a lot of my research on the run...literally.
