MMS Reader APP

[AtTheHop]

I was using Shouter Pro to read my SMS incoming messages while driving but it does not read MMS messages. Does anyone know of an APP they does this.

Doesn't Android Auto?

Yes android auto does but I drive a Jeep Wrangler and use a Bluetooth speaker. It's a very basic model wrangler, no technology. Manual transmission and soft top.

The Android Auto app should still work, though. You just have to activate/deactivate manually, but it should still work on your phone and through BT audio.

I will give android auto a try with my bluetooth speaker.

Android auto notifies you of a text message but you need to click on the message to hear it. Shouter Pro will automatically read a SMS when received but not a MMS message. I am looking for an app to automatically read ,both a SMS and a MMS text when received.

Does the V20 have a 'Car Mode'? Not sure why it wouldn't read MMS... Also, does Android Auto respond to voice? I know it's an extra step, but that could also work.

No the V20 does not have a car mode. I don't think Android Auto responds to voice. Its the extra step that will get me ticketed for using the phone while driving. I sent Shouter an email but from what I have heard they are shut down and do not respond to inquires. Thats why I am looking for another app. Also I am blind in one eye and its very hard to drive and look at my phone.

OK for anyone interested I found an app "Read Text 2me" that will read SMS and MMS tests upon receipt. It will also transmit to a connected bluetooth device. It has many other settings you can enable. Its free with ads but for $1.49 you can disable ads which I plan to do.

Thanks for the info! I'm sure others will be interested in this too!
