SPEAKTHAT!
The world’s most comprehensive notification reader.
Stay connected without staring at your screen. SpeakThat! will read your notifications to you as soon as they come in, allowing you to stay up to date while you’re driving, working, cooking, or just trying to avoid using your phone too much.
Open-Source
With the source code available on GitHub, you can verify SpeakThat!’s privacy claims and contribute towards it.
100% Free
SpeakThat! is free for everyone. And when I say free - I mean free. No subscriptions, no ads, just speech.
Privacy-First
All processing happens on your device. No external servers, no data harvesting, and no AI.
App Filtering
Decide exactly which notifications get read out and which will always remain silent.
Voice Options
Full control over pitch, speed, TTS language and audio stream for maximum flexibility.
Shake to Stop
Cancel a readout by shaking your device. The sensitivity can be adjusted to suit your needs.
Wave to Stop
Cover your device’s proximity sensor to cancel ongoing readouts. This is perfect for desk environments.
Notifications
Optionally display a persistent notification indicating when SpeakThat! is active.
Word Filter
Blacklist certain words to prevent notifications containing them from being read out, or swap words entirely.
URL Handling
Announce web links either in full, their domain name only, or replace all web links with your own custom text.
Content Cap
Limit readouts to a word count, sentence count, or time limit. Great for obnoxiously long notifications like emails!
App Name Swap
If an app name sounds unnatural in speech, swap it with a replacement for readouts.
Smart Logic
Conditional Rules allow you even finer control, such as specific behaviour when Bluetooth is connected.
Language Support
Crowd-sourced translations are constantly being added. Feel free to help translate SpeakThat to yours!
Android Only
Okay fine, this one’s not really a feature but it’s still amusing that Apple can’t do this yet. They must hate accessibility.
