Pingtell: Read Notifications

Keep up with new notifications without reaching for your phone.

Pingtell reads notifications from the apps you choose using your phone's installed text-to-speech voices. Choose whether it speaks the app name, title or full notification, and tailor reading per app.

- Select all apps or only the ones you want.
- Set app-name, title or full-text reading globally or per app.
- Skip silent, ongoing, grouped or repeated notification updates.
- Choose how Pingtell responds to music, calls, navigation and screen lock: read, shorten, defer or skip.

Speak only while any Bluetooth audio device—or one chosen, already-paired device—is connected. Pingtell doesn't scan for devices or pair or connect to them.

Speech temporarily ducks media and never changes system volume. Choose an available audio output; Pingtell doesn't fall back to the phone speaker if a selected output disconnects.

- No internet permission, account, ads or analytics.
- Notification contents are processed in memory and aren't saved.
- No microphone access.
- Uses system text-to-speech voices. Download a voice pack in Android settings for offline speech.

Android controls final audio routing, and some media apps may pause instead of ducking. Navigation detection is best effort. Pingtell requires notification access; you choose which apps and rules to use.
