Ditto, not working here also. I even tried to reboot a couple times and stripping off %first% from the string to no avail.

Great feature, thanks. Brings it in line with standard Nokia features.
v0.7 worked perfectly for me (except for off-screen UI), but update to v0.8 broke it (does not read out contact names anymore). Tried reinstalling etc. deleting config files, and removing other apps, to see what is causing it. no luck. So I reinstalled v0.7 and now works again. Looking forward to fix. Thanks. Welcome any other apps that makes this N900 work like old normal Nokia's. ie timed profiles etc.

Re: [eSpeakCaller] Say who is calling
 

there is an app called "ses" for that (i think)

Re: [eSpeakCaller] Say who is calling
 

Alarmed supports advanced alarms, including setting up timed profiles, going on/offline, executing commands and scripts. Reliable, too.

Re: [eSpeakCaller] Say who is calling
 

Same issue with .8. Where did you find .7 again? Need to reinstall that.

Re: [eSpeakCaller] Say who is calling
 

This is where are all previous versions are kept:
https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1466

I only installed the 0.7 vers of the .deb file, and now works OK.
Note: I also deleted the espeakcaller directory (with the config files) in /user.
enjoy.

Nice. I had been misspelling it on search at the garage, stupid me. :)

Back to .7 and voice announcement, awesome!!

Re: [eSpeakCaller] Say who is calling
 

Does it still take a few seconds to kick in?

Re: [eSpeakCaller] Say who is calling
 

is that the only voice that can be used. or can it be changed?

Re: [eSpeakCaller] Say who is calling
 

I OCd my N900 because I was sick of the races in the phone. Now, recaller is perfect and espeakcaller finally works again. It takes a few seconds to speak, but I think it was supposed to. About 4 I'm guessing. Incidentally, I have a repeat every set to 4, maybe that counts?
