Speaking full screen notifications for driving + Moto-X "What's up?" style summary
now with Reply by Voice capability

See it on Google Play:

• Touchless Notifications Free
• Touchless Notifications Pro
  Labor day weekend sale: $2.49 => $1.49

It's not strictly new, it's been downloaded by 3000+ people. What's new is version 2.0, which has just been released today. It has received a lot of polish and addition, so it is ready for prime time.


Touchless Notifications:

• can read out your notifications and optionally show them full screen
• lets you respond to them by voice

Notification read-out:

• can happen immediately as the notifications appear
• or in a summary type of presentation of all active notifications

The summary read-out can start "without touching":

• when you connect something (bluetooth, headset, charging etc)
• using certain voice commands in Google Now

Special features:

• You can use two languages for the read-outs, the app can identify which voice to use
• Control the settings from Tasker by intents
• Great out of the box, but it can be fine tuned with a plethora of settings
• Start by voice using S for Switch Voice Pro (my other app for Samsungs)
• Built in extensive user's guide and a Tour Wizard for first time users
• Developer thread at XDA
• Beta tester community on Google+

I am contacting you today to tell you about a possible bug. When ever you are in a message window and you tap on the mic icon to do a voice text it announces a message about Google. And as a result it picks up the voice and will put that in the message you are composing. Every time you use the voice to text feature in a meager it announces
Is there a way to turn off this when you are messaging? It is very annoying. It only does this when you tap on the mic icon and try to speak.

Hello Andy, it must be very frustrating. But I think the solution is quite easy, just go to the black list in Touchless Notifications, and mark "Your device".*

I should probably do that by default. Thanks for reporting this issue.
