Thanks, the caller announce feature seems to actually work with this app. I'm not too interested in any of the other features, but guess I can turn them off. If it allowed a little more customisation e.g. control the amount of times the name gets announced (it's only once) etc. it would be great. ~~So far this seems to have worked the best of any app I've tried.~~ Edit: the Shouter app is now the frontrunner!
Awesome thanks friend! �� the Shouter app does exactly what I want. It:
- Reliably reads aloud the caller name
- Can customise the amount of times the name repeats
- Can customise the voice notification before and after the name e.g. 'Incoming call from [CALLER NAME] on work phone'
- It's lightweight, has no ads and seems to work reliably so far
This way I can have 2 phones connected to the headset and with the customisations it can notify me what phone it is coming through on… perfect.
The ReadItToMe app didn't work at all for me.
"Get messages" as in have them read to you? If so, I don't believe there's anything native. I use Shouter when I'm on my motorcycle to pipe messages into my helmet.
I use this and it works good.

What about either of these:

But then you've got to take your eyes off the road, unless it's able to speak them to you.
If you have Bluetooth in your car, I'd recommend an app like Shouter. It'll automatically read your messages (and other things) to you while you're driving, which is pretty nice.
