Speaker 1.03 Beta
What you want your phone to say??

Speaker is another cool application that came from my friend Manu, developer of the very popular ShakeLock application.

Same as , Share Lock Speaker is developed in the Python that is undoubtedly the tool No1 for the freeware developers lately.

Python folder on my phone is full of the useful freeware applications and I should create few subfolders to sort and organize all application that I have in there.

Actually I seriously thinking about updating our download section that is pretty outdated nowadays, my HDD is full of freeware applications that I would like to share with you. Just hope that I’ll get some spare time soon and setup the brand new download section as the benefit for all of you that prefers the useful freeware applications instead of the expensive commercial soft.

Anyway, speaking of the Speaker, it is the very simple Python Application that uses your S60 3rd Edition phone's built-in text to speech-engine to read out certain information like: Time, Date, IMEI number, etc.

In the latest version it also speaks out the number of missed calls you had today. Application is still in the early beta stage and Manu currently working on some other useful stuff for speaker to say (like No of unread messages, last missed call etc). Speaker v1.03 is the first public version and it brings some minor improvements in UI and also features a nice SVG iconthat is my work by the way ;)

If there is something else you want speaker to say, you guys can request over at forum section and will probably include it in the next release. It can be anything like Last missed call no, Read Last SMS, Number of appointments today or anything like that. The most requested ones (and sensible ones) will be considered for implementation.

That’s all for now, any suggestion is more than welcome, C U over at forum section ;)
