Description
IMPORTANT NOTICE=================
Due to rule changes Google have made we are no longer able to support this application through the Play Store.
We are prevented from uploading new versions due to our use of implicit broadcasts. If we comply with the restrictions to target the latest APIs, then Tune Announcer will cease to work as without implicit broadcasts we cannot receive scrobbles.
If you've bought Tune Announcer and need help to resolve bugs, then contacts us directly (support@softwyer.com)

ANNOUNCER
This application speaks the track name, artist and album title when playing music using the default media players, or others that support scrobbling.
It's useful if you have a large music collection and cannot see the screen to check the names, e.g whilst exercising.
It uses the native Text-to-Speech capabilities of the device to speak. If you don't like the way it speaks, or pronounces words, then download an alternative TTS provider for your device.
TOASTER
Tune Announcer also toasts the song details whilst speaking. Shows the album cover, track name, artist and album name.
The details of the tune pop up are large enough to be comfortably and safely read whilst driving.
Toasts can be enabled and disabled independently of the Announcements.
TASKER Support
Tasker can be used to create Action Intent Tasks that enable or disable Tune Pop and Announcements. See this blog for more details : http://softwyer.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/tasker-support-for-tune-announcer-pro/
Pro version has:
- toggle widget
- notification icon
- configure the application to ignore certain characters and symbols when speaking.
- option to ignore all text in brackets () & []
- well done toast
- speak in English option (British)
- speak album name
- free format speech mode allows you to choose what parts to say and where to place them.
- tasker support.
- speak at the end of the track, rather than the beginning.
- Google's network sourced speech synthesis
SPEAK AT END OF TRACK
This relies on the track containing a reasonable estimate of the time as well as it being scrobbled correctly. Scrobble Droid, Google Music, Double Twist and the Built in Android/HTC players all seem to be OK for scrobbling track length.
If you fast forward through a track, or pause it, then there will be no speech at the end. Android does not scrobble this information.
Toasts always appear at the start of the track, regardless of 'speak at end' setting.
SPEECH VOLUME
On some devices the speech volume can be quiet, especially when played through headphones or over bluetooth. Unfortunately this is a limitation of the device and Android OS. We can't fix these problems so please try the free version before buying the paid version.
PRE-REQUISITES
For Tune Announcer to work, your music player MUST support SCROBBLING. Tune Announcer supports a variety of common scrobble formats and will work with most players that implement scrobbling. Some players require that you enable scrobbling in their settings. Furthermore, some players won't scrobble unless you install the LastFM scrobble client. Usually, it is enough just to install it, you don't always need to register with LastFM to scrobble.
Turn on Tune Announcer's debug mode and play music. If you don't get any 'toast' messages with debug scrobble information, then your music player is not scrobbling. Either change your music player's settings, or change your music player. Tune Announcer is NOT psychic, it requires the player to scrobble.
To speak, your device must have an Text-to-Speech service built in. All modern Android OS's will have this, though you may need to enable or download the speech libraries. Check your Android OS Settings under Language and Input.
As always, please email us with any issues so that we can fix them! Feature requests are always welcome.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Very usefull app.I have a lot of songs on phone and cannot remember all songs .Handy when i go for a run/driving and a song plays and i don't like song As i know name /or artist ,I can delete song later from phone ! Been using app for long time ,works fine .No problem( Note 3 ) Thanks for updates.
5 ★Great app for when you can't take your eyes off of something, or you want an easy and quick way to see what song just started playing. Very friendly and willing developer!
5 ★I really like this app. Very useful while you are hearing music while you are doing something else and cannot afford to constantly switching on your device to check the name of the track. It will instantly tell you the details. With network speech synthesis turned on, the voice even sounds clearer. Great work devs!
2 ★Volume levels reset to default after you pause a song. Really annoying when wearing headphones and music doubles in volume. Uninstalled app and problem solved.
3 ★The voice output is too quiet - it's hard to hear track names over headphones in noisy public places, please include louder voice output settings, I find this app practically unusable unless I'm in a quiet room...
5 ★I love this feature on the iPod Nano, but I need to press a button to make it work on the Nano. This app just works and the voice is clear. I have many classical pieces and can't recognize all of them at first listen. I fee sorry for commenter's who have so few tracks in their collection that they recognize them all. Widen your horizons! Thanks again - great app.
5 ★I listen to lots of new music and often in shuffle mode. No mobile player could better inform me about the tune I listen than a voice-over from Announcer. First of all a player is usually in my pocket. Or it is unsafe to look at screen while driving. Most players display tune info in a hard to read way. Also the support is excellent.
5 ★Brilliant. Highly configurable.
5 ★Just what I need, thanks
1 ★Just updated from1.2 to 1.8.1 and it has stopped working ! The test works but nothing else. Not even the one they are pushing works. Come on lads and fix it, please. It's a great piece of software.
5 ★Since the volume customization this application has gone from useful to awesome.
5 ★Amasing
