Does anyone know of a text to speech software for Windows Mobile 5/6? I'm looking for something that will read e-mail out loud.
Voice Command 1.6 will read email headers.
Thanks. I have VC1.6. I'm looking for something that will read the e-mail body to me while I'm driving.
As a follow up to this, does anyone know of an application to read out text messages whilst driving along? Its not very safe when the popup comes on screen covering up Tomtom.

Try Fonix Voice Central 3.1. It reads out the body of the email messages.

I saw this one but didn't know if it would read the e-mail from within Outlook or if I had to copy/paste the words into a document. If you still have it installed, could you let me know if you can tell it to read an e-mail from within Outlook? At the very least, open a message when it arrives then this program reads the message after you instruct it to do so?

Thanks, this says it'll read the e-mail as it arrives and even allow me to reply or delete, etc. If you use it, do you know if it'll read over BlueTooth headset? If it will then It's most likely the perfect program and must have for the Athena.

I used an earlier version on the Blue Angel and it did what it said it would do. Not used it on the Ameo though.. But you can downlad a free trial and see if it works over BT.

Thanks. I've downloaded it but haven't had a chance to test it out yet.
I had been looking for something like this for some time. Well, thanks to this thread I have downloaded and tried it. Conclusion: very useful, though could be improved.
1. Voice quality is not very good.
2. Reads the emails and very accurate.
3. Functionally quite rich - though I have only tried reading emails as this is what I was after.
However, I havnt figured out how to read emails as and when they arrive. I seems tha I have to start the application to read the emails. If anyone has any ideas, please share them. Thanks

Hey I know this is several years later, but like me I bet your STILL using windows mobile ... so if so.... you need to look at this thread, post 8 in particular. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407630
the xda user posted a link to software (freeware) that will intercept incomming text messages and read them... EXACTLY what you were looking for. Now... if we could only find software that will take dictations and text them up for us freeing us from typing all the time.
Good luck peeps.

When someone with one post finds it and you can't, it just shows how lazy you truly are. In the future, search before asking.
This thread is old as heck, which makes it another good reason to lock it.
Is there any "fun" bluetooth software outthere anymore. It always fun to be able to mess with your friends but I have not been able to find anything for a long time that will allow that happen. Any ideas?
Yes I too would like to use BT to listen in on conversations, DOH I mean have fun with friends.
Interesting... I Didn't even know there was such a thing...
either did I. Is there?
I have something called Smurf, it's a program for Bluejacking anything bluetooth aware. No idea where to get it as it was somewhere obscure and it crashes if I try to access the about screen (rest of it works quite well though).
Here looks favourite for a website, but I might be wrong -
http://www.gatefold.co.uk/smurf/
I have a cab for it called "SmurfSetup04", so it looks like it's that url...
Hope that helps.
This should be interesting if i can get it to work... lol oh well...

Blue Jacking
Ok, firstly its an offence in most counties as its considered hacking under most laws but for information purposes:
Bluetooth phones that were able to be bluejacked were only made about 4 years ago as all the bluetooth pairing stack has been hardened since then try to prevent this.
Im sure its proabably possible with the right kit, essentially using the original exploits you tricked the traget device into a situation where it thought that you were re-pairing a device and explioted this.
Anyway, probably the most fun thing you can still do over bluetooth is with a program called bluetooth sniper, this lets you send images and text to target phones whilst re-writing your bluetooth id. Its also possible to send messages to phones where the bluetooth is turned on but set to hidden mode.
It also has a war mode, you set a message, it scans for all phones, send the message to all local phones and then does it again and again and again.
Use with caution as you can expect other phone users get a bit pissed after the 10th or so bluetooth message
If your running linux and not a ppc theres a bit more things you can do like:
http://trifinite.org/trifinite_stuff_carwhisperer.html
this is the sort of attack you talk about, however it relighs on the bluetooth's device to still have the default pass key, which many have.
http://www.secuobs.com/news/05022006-bluetooth10.shtml
this is a dos attack i belive for bluetooth
there is also
http://www.net-security.org/software.php?id=519
redfang which attempts to brueforce the passkey on the device, this is slightly diffirent from the original method used for btcrawler.
Anyway, like i said i wouldnt advise doing or using any of the above as its very very very naughty indeed !!
Great - thank you for the info. I will continue to do some more research and find out which one of these still works. I own a copy of the bluetooth sniper (yes, I bought it) and it never seems to work very good. The problem is you have to have the "passkey" to the other phone to be able to do anything.
Anyways - I'm not going to spend tons of time on it, as I just had some buddies I wanted to mess with. If anyone else has any other programs out there that does not require the remote users passkey I would love to hear what they are!
Tare Care....
Plazma remind me to never piss you off. Awsome info.

Don't confuse bluejacking with bluesnarfing.
Bluejacking is actually harmless (although possibly annoying) and involves sending a contact with a message to the bluetooth device concerned.
I haven't used Sniper, but Smurf didn't require a pass key and is free (forgot to mention that bit). Worked with a Sony Ericsson phone and a Nokia phone my friends had, their MacBook's and an Asus machine running Vista...

i tried to download sniper but it said it does not support my firmware or something like that, so i did some research and found it need one of the old .net frameworks. i found the download in the Sniper forums but you need to join to download it... but of course i tried to join (about 2 months ago) and i still have not gotten the 'moderator approval' so i cant download it and thus cant run sniper
Sniper wasn't any fun because to do anything at all, it always pops up the passkey screen on the remote users phone.....thus, your name (device owner name) would always display and make the remote user connect with you. I am anxious to try this smurf program; however, I can't seem to get it installed. All of the new custom ROM's do not appear to have SQL CE installed on them, which is requires - and I can't seem to find the proper cabs to install it on the tilt. If anyone has the proper cabs I need, please post them!

Indeed, bluejacking is often confused with bluesnarfing(which I have an app that will do bluesnarfing, bluebugging, and hellomoto attacks.) Believe me there are still PLENTY of phones and devices still susceptible to bluejacking, just not many still bugged for bluesnarfing or hellomoto attacks.
I've actually made REAL friends by bluejacking(bluejacked a nice lookin lady at the music store once as well as a bartender.)
If you're grey hatted.... check out bluezard... I believe it's www.wm-soft.com but it's not freeware(worth the money imo.) In addition to the attacks there is a built in console where you can attach to any of the remote services and send AT commands(such as dialing commands or sms commands) Doesn't do automatic scanning though, and that's a pain. A really nice bluejacker peice is mobiluck, it's actually geared more toward the exact social aspect of bluejacking that landed me my new friend. start mobiluck and leave it running in your pocket. The idea was that if you came within range of smoeone else running mobiluck you'd automatically exchange information. Didn't turn out that well because the author is very controlling and manually generates his keys and the process is a real pain in the ass.
btexplorer is another useful tool that can do snarfing but no bug or hellomoto, it's also not very intuitive, it's more of a semi consolar program.
Use these programs at your own risk. While bluejacking isn't technically illegal, bluesnarfing, bugging and hellomoto is. Not to mention that while bluejacking isn't illegal it can still get you an ass beatin' if your bluejack the wrong person and they see you sitting there in starbucks giggling.. So there is that risk as well.
Ive seen speech to text software for Pc's and desktops but i wanted to know if there is speech to text software especially for GPS software like TOM Tom7 so i can just say street address instead of typing them while im driving...will make alot of things easier for me while driving.
you seruous..141 people lookedat this and nobody has any clue of if there is speech to text software..like the one for PC that does the alien voice
this question has been asked before and it seems as if the answer is no.

However a work around that would involve time consumption and copy and paste, but would work for emails and text - would be signing up for a Jott.com account. Its free and essetaily you call a dedicated number for your account talk to the system and then it emails you a copy of the chat you just had. You could then pull up the email assuming you have it set up on your phone, copy and paste. This is a lot of work to simply be lazy not to type it, and i guess the fact you're copying/pasting negates the whole concept of dictating so that you do not have to type anything, but hey it would work. Just not so much for TOM TOM7. there i would recommend a service like telenav.com. they have a function on their gps software that allows you to dictate to it your destinations and so forth.
Only responding because no one else has. Don't consider myself to be an expert in this arena, but I remember this question being asked and researched several months ago. As I remember (at that time) no one found anything that is currently available.
Some interesting work going on out there - http://www.digitalfuturesoft.com/texttospeechproducts.php and I currently use Jott (not something that would work for what you're looking for, but a great service). Sorry I couldn't be more helpful - hope someone gives you (and me) a better answer.
haha funny as i was editing about Jott it was also recommended, awesome.
This is a link about a regular cell phone a few years ago that had this type of technology. You would think it would be available for PPC.

Hello guys, It happens for me to be blind (not completely) so I know about TTS software. The only one good is the “Mobile Speak” from “CodeFactory”. There are some problems with this software for example:
1) It is not free.
2) It is expensive.
3) It can not be cracked (as I know).
4) It works with sim car lock.
5) It can not help you with the GPS because it can not read graphics. You need a GPS software that displays some messages as text and not graphics.
I hope I helped you.
Just looking to see if something can take a txt, doc or pdf document and read it.
...or I'd even settle for something that can read copied text
Anything of the sort?
I'd like to know too. It seems like all the posts i've read on this talk about sms being read aloud using MS voice command, but i'd like a proper program reading out copied text, or doc and txt files. Hopefully there's some freeware someone out there can recommend.

Well the 1st one you linked isn't free or actual txt to voice directly, you have to save it to a file for playback. The 2nd one was terrible and that flite is extremely basic unfortunately and only does 8hz voices. And yes I've googled it myself and not found a decent program at all.
While this isn't how I wanted to do it, I finally went with with a program called textaloud which lets you save text to wav files for playback similar to sayvoice.
Still looking for a proper txt to voice freeware program...
Hi,
I have put together a Mortscript which allows you put any text into a text msg and have it send to your own phone.
My app does turn on the voice announcing and turn it back off after the msg has been received. This is if you have voice announcing turned off.
I know this is not free, but I had to start somewhere. I am going to add 1Liner support so it can read jokes.
I do know there is an app called Flite, but I don't know if it works at all any more.
