Voice notifications done right.

SpeakThat! is an Android app that reads your incoming notifications out loud using text-to-speech. Unlike most alternatives, SpeakThat! puts you fully in control of what gets read, when it gets read, how it sounds, and when it stays completely silent.

No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. Just speech.

Why SpeakThat!?

100% free & open-source - inspect the code, verify the privacy claims, or contribute on GitHub
Entirely local - all processing happens on your device, with no external servers and no AI
Private by design - optional Private Mode can announce the app name without reading notification content
Modern Material design - powerful features without a cluttered or confusing interface

Powerful control over what gets read

App-based filtering (whitelist or blacklist specific apps)
Smart notification filtering (media, persistent, silent, or duplicate notifications)
Word filtering: blacklist words, swap words, or prevent certain notifications from being read entirely
Content caps: limit readouts by word count, sentence count, or time
URL handling: read full links, domains only, or replace links with custom text
Custom app name replacements (change X back to Twitter for readouts!)

Flexible speech behaviour

Full control over voice, pitch, speed, volume, language, and audio output
Custom speech formatting using templates and placeholders
Tidy Speech mode to remove emojis and symbols before speaking
Delay readouts to give notification sounds time to finish
Notification cooldowns and deduplication to prevent spammy repeats

Context-aware & smart logic

Respect Do Not Disturb, phone calls, and system audio modes
Bluetooth device detection (e.g. only read when headphones or car audio are connected)
Screen state awareness (optionally stay silent when the screen is on)
Time schedules to disable readouts during certain hours
Conditional rules for advanced behaviour (such as Bluetooth-only logic)

Hands-free controls

Shake-to-stop with adjustable sensitivity
Wave-to-stop using the proximity sensor - perfect for desks or hands-free setups

Automation & advanced users

Works with automation apps like Tasker and MacroDroid
Settings import/export for easy backups or switching devices
Support for external TTS engines if Android’s default isn’t your favourite
Built-in diagnostics to help troubleshoot complex setups

Language & accessibility friendly

Full localisation support for both the UI and text-to-speech
Crowd-sourced translations via Weblate: https://speakthat.app/translate

SpeakThat! never sends your data anywhere unless you explicitly choose to submit a bug report - and even then, it’s optional. What happens on your phone stays on your phone.

Ideal for accessibility, drivers and commuters, desk setups, athletes, parents, busy professionals, and anyone who wants a healthier relationship with notifications.

Actively developed

SpeakThat! is continuously improved based on real user feedback. It’s built by someone who genuinely uses it every day - which means features exist because they’re useful, not because they look good in a marketing screenshot.

Download Metadata Source Issues ChangeLog

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
