Speaking text and emails and contacts yes. But I want my text etc to be replayed to me by voice. And text to speech is this - isn't it? I just can't get it to work. I have SPEECH TO TEXT and it works a treat. I want to use TEXT-TO-SPEECH. Check under settings and 'Text-to-Speech. Its just above 'About Phone'.
I'm pretty sure google maps uses the text to speech in it's directions. If that install option is greyed out, it means it's already installed on your phone. I can't find any other apps that use it though. I too would love to have my mail and texts read out to me but I can't find a way of doing this yet.
By the way, why does everyone always seem to get 'text to speech' and 'speech to text' mixed up?? There completely different!

Talking about Google Translate, I think we're loosing something in internet typing translation here. I still don't know quite what you are getting at. As one turns your voice into text and one turns your text into a voice..............nothing to do with each other really.

I sort of know what you mean. You are meaning that you don't have to type in, but Maps and translate uses the 'Text to Speech' files to speak out the directions and to speak out the translation. As in the program works the directions and translation are put out as text but then 'Text to Speech' converts that text to speech. So you do need 'Text to Speech' installed to get the voice output in those two apps.

With the keyboard without the speaker on it displayed (ie. the old keyboard you're wanting to replace), long press on an input box where the text would be entered and a popup should come up, select input method and you should have the choice of keyboards, your old one and the new one.
The app " Drivesafe.ly" will read out emails, texts etc and works with bluetooth as well. Try out the free app in the market, its limited to 25 words but it DOES work and has a female voice thats nice and the paid version is available if you like it
