Just happened to see a review of this app on msn today and
I was wondering if anyone has heard of it.

Seems to be a hands-free text and email service for android and blackberry phones, when you receive a text or email the app uses text
to speach tech. to read your message to you.

Free version will read the 1st 25 words of each message and a paid version to receive the full message. Going to try it after work, just wanted
to know if anyone as tried this yet.

Handcent SMS does the same thing for free.
Edit: Only for SMS though

I have only tried a few apps thus far, but I decided to give it a try. Not bad at all. Even though it involves communicating with "their" (iSpeech) server it seems to work fairly quickly. And best of all the voices are actually quite good. I tried another app that relies on tts that is stored on the phone and the speech quality was less than hoped for - and it took longer to load then expected. Just an opinion though.
