The Audifier

Description: 

This app speaks system notifications automatically, as well as notifications from apps of the user's choice. On my smartphone, verbalization is through Google text-to-speech U.S. English, although I had set my default TTS language to U.K. English. I find the app to be very accessible with Android's creen reader. Note: when selecting which apps Audifier should verbalize notifications for, unlabeled buttons exist per TalkBack instead of checkboxes. Haptic feedback makes it evident a selection was made. I suggest plugging in headphones before going to bed so the app will not wake...

Other Comments: 

A couple of features make this voicemail app stand above the rest. There is a play button next to each message, so there is no need to open a message to listen to it. Also, although voicemail greetings can be voice recordings, it is also possible to write the text of your voicemail greeting, which will be played for callers using a synthetic voice. This text can include name or phone number information from your contacts, so that everyone who is in your contact list can for example be greeted by name. This is not a call blocking app, nor does it do conferencing, voice chat or unified messaging. It is just a simple no-frills visual voicemail app that does its job well.
