Caller Name Talker is a fun app that will let you know the name behind an incoming call and other things for you.

Most cell phones will show you the number calling when your phone rings, and your phone may list the name of the contact in your phone book associated with that number. While those features are helpful when sitting right by your phone, those features aren't nearly as useful when you're on the other side of the room or left your phone behind while doing other tasks. This app will speak the name of the caller when it spots an incoming call to let you know whether you should answer or if you can let the phone keep ringing.

Turning this app on and off is easy because it has a slider bar right on the home screen. You slide this bar one way to turn the app on and the opposite way to turn it off. The main menu also gives you access to the settings and lets you change the language used, the speed of the voice and the pitch of that voice. If you aren't sure what voice you want to hear, you can use the test voice option to listen to different voices before making your choice.

The general settings menu lets you make other changes. You can have the app tell you the number calling in, even if that number is not saved in your phone. Clicking another box will keep the app from talking when you turn your phone to silent. This menu lets you adjust the volume of the voice you hear and turn down the volume of your ringer to hear the voice more clearly. There is even a time delay setting that adds a short pause after the voice speaks.

Caller Name Talker is great for using when you're behind the wheel of a car, working, watching a movie at home or doing other things. In addition to giving you information about callers, it can also speak up when you get a new text message. The app will work with other apps and with your email too and can read out the emails that you most recently received. With Caller Name Talker, you can know who called or who sent you a text message without looking down at your phone.
