SpeakThat!

Voice notifications done right.

SpeakThat! is an Android app that reads your incoming notifications out loud using

text-to-speech. Unlike most alternatives, SpeakThat! puts you fully in control

of what gets read, when it gets read, how it sounds, and when it stays completely silent.

No ads. No subscriptions. Just speech.
