Hi
everybody, Does
anyone
know of any cell phones that have a text-to-speech feature or app that
could be
used for communication, other than the iPhone? I’ve had a few
PALS
who want to carry a single device for TTS, text messages, etc, but
don’t
want to switch their phone service to AT&T. It
seems
like there are quite a few phones that offer TTS to read incoming text
messages
and emails, but not many (if any?) that will speak text typed in by the
user himself.
The LG Voyager (Verizon) does it as part of its Notepad tool, but it has
been
discontinued. It seems like the TTS app for Blackberry has also been
discontinued, although it sounded like that one was never very good in the
first place. Has anyone come across other phones with other
carriers? Betts
