Features Tune Announcer Pro
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 youve bought Tune Announcer and need help to resolve bugs, then contacts us directly ([email protected])https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/target-sdkANNOUNCERThis application speaks the track name, artist and album title when playing music using the default media players, or others that support scrobbling.Its 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 dont like the way it speaks, or pronounces words, then download an alternative TTS provider for your device.TOASTERTune 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 SupportTasker 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.- Googles network sourced speech synthesisSPEAK AT END OF TRACKThis 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 VOLUMEOn 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 cant fix these problems so please try the free version before buying the paid version.PRE-REQUISITESFor 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 wont scrobble unless you install the LastFM scrobble client.
Usually, it is enough just to install it, you dont always need to register with LastFM to scrobble.Turn on Tune Announcers debug mode and play music.
If you dont get any toast messages with debug scrobble information, then your music player is not scrobbling.
Either change your music players 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 OSs 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!

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Didn't recognize which service was playing. No Spotify!"
Tom Winn
"Doesn't support YouTube music ( Google's fault) which is replacing Google play music. Hopefully will be working soon."
Neil Spencer
"I LOVE this app! Works with Play Music. I notice the volume adjustments don't work with Android 10 no matter what settings I adjust. But, it still announces perfectly."
Louis Berding
"Helpful and responsive developer."
Xyxyxy
"Love it even more... Still using today with my note 3... 2018 and still a cracking app (works with Spotify if any one wanted to know)"
A Google user
"Awesome! Now I can see what songs are playing from Spotify while navigation is up on Google Maps. Just what I wanted!"
Alan J
"Works well with slacker radio. I use it while running. Just what I was looking for."
Adam Mirarchi
"Wanted something like this for my car tablet install - exactly what I was looking for! I only wish the dev adds these features in future releases - customize toast size/font, add music controls and allow to customize speech rate. Thank you dev, hope you continue to work on this app and keep it alive. 😊"
Shiv Manas
"for long lonely hours in the push bike saddle with "shuffle" enabled across 11,500+ mp3 tracks."
Dave Price
"Does what it says flawlessly. Very customisable and one of the few apps on the Play Store of its kind. Also, VERY good development team - today (a Sunday) I installed it onto a different device (Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact) and whenever the app should have spoken what is playing, it force closed. I sent a report to the developer and now (same day) the problem has been fixed! Cannot recommend this app enough"
