Make android read callers name out loud

[swimminginthoughts]

I haven't been able to find this setting anywhere. On my previous phone, I could have the phone read the name of the person who was calling out loud (it would say: "Call from...and then their name). I came in handy because I like to have the same ring for everyone and just let the phone tell me who's calling.

I haven't been able to find an app or setting for this. Anyone know?

no but it would be cool. My fiance's env 3 does this.

You can make your own with ringdroid and assign them to each contact.
It's called "record new"

Nah, I just want it to read the name to me, I don't want to have to record a tone for each person (plus I don't care to hear my voice each time the phone rings!). My chocolate 2 did this.

I've thought about writing an app to do this. Once I finish the notepad app I'm working on I might give it a shot.

Search for Webcipe in the market; I think they have an app that does that.

Saymyname will do it. It is in the market.

Cool, it works! It's not as polished as my old Chocolate (sounds more robotic) but it'll work.
