Well I've done a bit of trawiling and discovered Tell me text.
Very basic text to speech sms reader. It works too!
Could a Dev go one more on this software so you can change the text to speech variations.

I am looking for a threaded sms or text that can also be integrated with voice command to annouce incoming text messages or in the case of a threaded sms layout.
I tried palm's threaded sms that came off the treo 750, my text notification was gone.
I also tried voice command 6.1 because users were stating that it will annouce incoming sms, (off topic...hoping that i can hear caller over bluetooth as well) but none...
I uninstall voice command 6.1 and palm's sms software. I am using voice command that came with my i760.
One thing that pay off in my search was getting the voice command to read slowly because she was saying things way too fast and i didn't understand what she was complaining about...odd, that matches my gf.
to do so,
hkcu >> software >> microass (microsoft) >> speech >> voices >> DefaultTTSRate = 2
Default is 4. The more you move up in number, the faster michelle talks.
Don't remember off the top of my head, but I believe there is an app out there called text to speech, or something along those lines.
Also, good post on the speech speed reg edit.

There absolutely is. Lets see if he can use the search function on this sight to find it.
is it possible
i know that installing palm's sms will remove all your text into some folder. can we duplicate the incoming text to its default (before installing palm's sms) location as well. It will make for a double text message location, but I don't mind. it seems that voice command will only annouce incoming text when palm's sms is not install.
Ok guys, I've searched and dont see this question or suggestion so please dont flame me.
Why is it possible to add a smiley from a new MMS message but not with SMS?
I use Smiley SMS but the smiley icons are very small.
Surely it's a registry hack to allow default compose to be MMS form.
Am I being stupid?
I think you're mixing things up.
MMS are MultiMedia Messages, which can contain large text and attachments (images, video, sound, etc).
SMS are text-only, so you can't put images in those. What SmileySMS does is probably the same thing as SMSChat: interprets the sms's you receive and replaces ": )" (for instance) with a smiley image stored in your device.
When you add a smiley to your message and send it, the other guy won't see a smiley, but ": )", unless he views it with your program too.
So, no, you can't registry-hack it to display images
?
Multimedia Messaging
Short Message Service
Actualy i dont get what your asking but the only simileys you can send via ems but i dont know if windows moblie.
other than that you can send the usual ;-) :-( :-D .
As said already, SMS & MMS are two different types of messages. Only the "smiley" you type goes through as text to the recipient, while SmileySMS recognizes it as an image for you to see.
I understand the differences.
What I was questioning is whether it be possible that the sms compose form be similar to MMS. So if you selected a smiley, it would send "" etc etc
Sony Ericsson and Samsung phones allow you to send SMS messages with animated smileys. It's a shortfall of WM that it doesnt give a better messaging experience.
Thanks for your input guys !!

Yeah, but you'll never really send the smiley, so your will be sent out as : D.
But instead of typing the text equivalent, I'd like to see the smiley and select it, therefore the abbreviation is automatically insterted into message - just as the MMS form does
Surely the Masterchefs can do a hack which can use the MMS form but sends as SMS
I don't know what type of device you have, but if it has a keyboard, then you might try Smilies Input Panel .
Keyboard for text and numbers, and SIP for smilies...
You can even edit it, make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see how..

i understand what u mean, but the MMS portion sends the graphic (i think) it doesnt inerpret ; - ) and change it to
smilieysms is a plugin for sms, which intercepts the text and uses its own display model to replace ; - ) with
so im guessing, no to use MMS editor, as in both instances it will place the graphic in the text body, and also on received messages, display the received graphic, not ; - ) replaced with
phew!

Nope, the MMS just inserts ascii characters into the text portion of the MMS, try it and see for yourself.
no flaming but please ask questions in the QUESTIONS Thread.
I have searched the Forum but cant seem to find any answer to this.
Wondering if anyone has any idea if I can filter/ search through text messages on the HD2 like we could on previous WM devices (including the touch pro2)?
in the text message program, if you type "trade" for example, all texts get narrowed down to display only the ones with the word "trade". Very handy tool to search through text messages especially when you have a lot of messages on your device.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
Is there anyway to increase this from the delault 160 letters in my sms?
what do you mean?
You can write sms messages as long as you want, they will simply be splitted among more sms's if they are longer than 160chars.
160 characters is the maximum length of the sms protocol...

Why would you write a message in word to then copy it and paste it into the SMS editor??? It sounds like your looking for problems.
Just type the text message in the text message editor. It really is that simple.

Well i find it quicker and faster to type a long message in word editor on laptop, smartarse, thanks for your positive input, glad there is not many of your type on here
I would have attached said word doc to message but the guys phone wouldn't have been able to open it. Nor has he got email!!!
Is there a way to compose text messages using speech to text? When I go in to compose a text message all I see is the swype keyboard.
I also thought you could fill in most (all???) text boxes/input fields using voice, but I haven't cracked that code either.
I searched this forum for "speech" and only got five hits, none of which look helpful:
