how can i get my nexus to announce the number calling me?

[wvdroidman]

is there a way to get my nexus to announce who is calling me? I know I won't want it done all of the time but when I am expecting a call I don't want to run to the phone to find out it is a creditor.

Do a search for "Talking Caller ID" in the app store. They have a free and a paid version. I don't know how well it works because I never used it but it looks like it will do the job.

not helping someone avoid fulfilling their financial obligations.

I've been on the wrong end of a few plant closings and I know what it's like to struggle. I've had people calling me before but they always got their money even if it was late so I'm not going to judge because I don't know what his situation is.

that would be why you shouldn't overextend your credit, and prepare for such things financially

This may sound a little strange but try this. Try settings->Language and input->see if Driving mode is on. If not, switch it to on. I found this while working on the s3 when a customer wanted the phone to stop announcing the call and text message.

I'm not going to go into details about my own life but I know sometimes you can't. That's why I won't judge people.

Think this thread ran its course....

OP got his answer, no need to debate what he or others are doing with their financial situations...

edit: OP did you try the app?

Thanks Dezy & LoudRam for helping.

@wvdroidman, Did you get it figured out?

Tapped from a Galaxy Nexus using Xparent ICS

 

[wvdroidman]

yes. Found two apps but both sound the same just one is louder.

Is there an app that announces who emails and texts are from? Like if a new email came from john doe it would say "you have mail from john doe."
or
"you dad send you a text"
