App for incoming call announcement over BT

CMeys · #1 (**permalink**) 08-24-2011, 11:54 AM

I've switched to an Evo 3D from a TP2 (which used MSVC) and would like to know how to get incoming voice call announcements over BT headset with my new phone.

I see lots of apps that claim to do this in the Android Market, but would like to know if anyone uses one that works well with the Evo 3D.

I don't need lots of voice functions -- mainly announcing name (or number when not in contact list) of the incoming call.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Try Vlingo. It's free.

I looked at in the marketplace but didn't see any mention that announces incoming calls certainly not over BT -- do you know that it does that? If so, I'll grab it immediately.

I just tried Vlingo and it didn't announce calls at all -- not over phone speaker or over BT.

Well I am going to un-install it. Because I too upgraded my phone from TP2 to the EVO 3D and I am not noticing a lot with respect to voice dialing and this phone. I am really sad about this.

I was referring to Vlingo that is.

Yes, I am very sad about it too. To announce incoming calls over the phone's speaker, I'm using a free app called Name Buzz which works well and I bought the BlueAnt Q2 headset which loads your contacts and announces calls, but I haven't found an acceptable solution for voice dialing over BT which I used a lot on my TP2 with MSVC.

I've got my BlueAnt Q2 announcing the incoming calls so I am set for that.

What I need is a reliable app to use to initiate outgoing voice command calls over BT like the way MSVC worked (with confirmation).

Download choice dialer from the market, it’s free and theapp ask for conformation before placing the call.
