SpeakThat!
The world's most comprehensive notification reader
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. Just speech.
Why SpeakThat!?
Powerful control over what gets read
Flexible speech behaviour
Context-aware & smart logic
Hands-free controls
Automation & advanced users
Language & accessibility friendly
SpeakThat! never sends your data anywhere unless you explicitly choose to submit
a bug report. 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 or to inflate some statistic.
Stay safe, stay connected, and let your phone do the talking!

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

Flexible speech behaviour

- Time schedules to disable readouts during certain hours
