PLEASE HELP ME OUT
try to install google's voice search found in android market. i've had the same problem until now
That's just an engine, you need a apps that actually use it. You can turn on the Accessibility from Settings to have everything on screen read back to you.
Should be able to find apps that will read emails and SMS back to you.
oh, and yes voice search you give yo the mic on the keyboard, press and hold to activate it. (by the way that's reverse of TTS)

Market search for handsfree sms, its free I think, will read back sms's as they come in, just remember that pico isnt the best to understand at times with certain words.

OP is actually asking for text to speech, with speech to text as a "by the way" point at the end of the post. Read the post, not the title, and you'll see.
Hey,
if you want to see your app in German I can help you!
Indeed I can´t code I´d like to support the developer community in this way and help to localize your app
List of my translated apps:
- WakeVoice
- E-Mail Notifier & SMS Notifier
- Dropspace
- smartTask
...and I still support the developers of this apps with further translations of updates.
And how much I have to pay? Of course nothing!
So if you are interested just mail me.
I have just send you an email
Sounds good. I have an app that I would like to get into German as well as other languages I'll send you a mail. Thanks!
What if we need not only app translation but also whole website http://www.bloove.com? Would accept one year unlimited plan in exchange?
maybe you can use google translate for android...

Well, I know that the Google translator is not bad but when you compare a human translation from a native speaker and a computer translation, especially of larger texts, you will be shocked and often the consensus is a completly different
@rwxer:
I´ve sent you a private message
Hey guys. thanks for having so much available info on damn near everything. I have been looking but still have not found what im looking for, so i have made a new thread. First off i have the moto triumph cm7.08 rooted. Next the kindle fire rooted(stock os). I was trying to find a way i could send txts from my kindle when its wireless tethered to my moto using the hot spot built in to the cm7. i used to have an app that let me tethered my old Samsung to a computer and i was able to send and receive the messages right from my puter. Any help or guidance will be appreciated. thanks in advance.
google voice works great
Yeah, Google Voice is what I use.
thanks to the both of you I got it working on my phone and the voice calling aspect is odd i have to press 1 to accept any call now coming in which is a bit annoying, i looked in settings and did see anything to stop that but i was on mass public transport so it did not have 100% of my attention. anyways thanks again.
Ok I think I go it working.... nope any input would be awesome.
Voice is fine if you already use it, but for those of us that don't it would require giving out a new number to everyone you know. Unless I missed something, that isn't very feasible for all of us.
I would think some kind of remote control or text forwarding app would be better... I would like to send and receive txt from my cell number on my kindle, and I think that's what the op was wanting as well

thats what im saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had to tell everyone i got a new number and all garbage and when someone calls me its a pain in the ass having to press the "1" key to accept the call b4 it goes to voicemail.
I use this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.desktopsms&hl=en for texting
I just reviewed that app and that looks like its for desk tops or laptops. Im trying to keep my phone in my pocket and test from my kindle fire which is connected through the internet on my phone hotspot or barnacle both work on my phone (cm7 tinkerguys beta.08)
Simple for me is using yahoo! Messenger. I already have an account, and can txt to any number I choose, not just those on my list. It goes to the recipient as my yahoo screen name and when they reply to the txt, I get it in my messenger on my kindle. Great free, no tethering required option. But I still have to be connected to wifi, so maybe not the option you're looking for.

But again I doubt this is transparent, in other words the people you send texts to don't see it as your cellphone that is sending the text, this would confuse some people... looking for transparency here

Right idea, wrong device... need this for the fire not the Pc.
Ive been working on getting vnc going, its kinds clunky but it works... however I cant seem to get past the lock screen on the phone... if i manually unlock the phone I can fully control it... getting close to a solution though.

I got rid of the Press 1 to answer by changing the default for Call Screening under SETTINGS, CALLS (Set to OFF / Directly connects calls when phones are answered)
Go to. voice.google.com and click on the round gear in the top right corner of the page.

that IS a good idea, let me check into this, thanks
Receives... doesn't send my replies though... hmmm
Edit: it would seem miui is overly protective and was asking for permission to let desksms send messages... all sorted, works awesome, little bit of a delay but it does work.
I don't like how it takes over the messaging app on my phone, but its not the end of the world
Thanks for the help

Hello !
I wrote an application because I needed to write SMS and emails in landscape mode on Firefox OS; my ZTE Open C is a bit 'rude' to write more than 3 words, especially when one have large fingers .
I do not know if I'm the only one wanting this function as I have not found a solution or an app on the market store, but personally I'd stayed on a 'keyboard' phone until recently because I did not want my typing getting too slow.
In any case if it can help someone the address can be found on the firefox marketplace under the name "horizon" (I would have wrote the URL but somehow I'm forbid to do it directly; sorry)
FYI: the app creates drafts ready to be sent because it is not possible for security issues to write an application that directly sends SMS or emails.
It's a first app so any feedback is welcome !
Thanks,
Schulgy
Has anyone been able to get the Google messages app to work on a Kindle 8 or 10? The app crashes when trying to set it as the default sms handler. This seems like a required step before being able to pair it with a cellphone and something that obviously the Kindle wasn't designed to support.
Any workarounds would be much appreciated. Would be very nice to be able to pair with my cellphone and send/receive texts from the Kindle.
