Application Settings

Auto Start

Enable this option to have our app automatically start when your device powers on.

Start with Headset

Enable this option to have the app start and stop when you connect or disconnect a Bluetooth headset.

This option only works with Bluetooth headsets! Wired headsets in Android cannot be supported at this time.

Devices

When Start with Headset is enabled, you can pick what devices will start or stop our app. You can choose all devices or just some specific ones. Selecting none is the same as selecting all devices.

Voice Recognition Options

No Bluetooth Mic

When this option is enabled, your bluetooth mic will not be used.

Babel

This setting allows you to select a specific voice engine that should be used for specific contacts. If you device has a default language of English, but you have other non-English voice engines installed, you can override which engine is loaded when messages are received from specific contacts.

Enable language detection

Enable this setting to automatically attempt to load the correct text to speech engine voice. If you have multiple voice engines installed for different languages and you regularly receive messages in other languages, then this setting will help make sure that messages in English are spoken with an English voice while messages in other languages, like German, are spoken with a German voice.

This feature will cause a delay in speech output as the message has to be processed!

Preferred Engine

This setting allows you to select the preferred text to speech voice engine for any particular language. This setting is useful in those situations where you have default voice from one provider and would like to use an alternative engine for another language.

The icon will still be shown but with a low priority. However, if you long click on the notification, click on "App Info" and uncheck the checkbox that says "Show notifications", you can disable our apps notifications.
