Overview
Call Announcer is an Android utility designed to provide hands-free caller identification. When an incoming call arrives, the application displays the caller's name and phone number through a custom caller screen. If the number matches a saved contact, the application announces the caller's name aloud using Text-to-Speech.
The problem
Users may not always be able to look at their phone when an incoming call arrives. A hands-free experience can make caller identification more accessible by presenting caller information visually and announcing recognized contact names aloud.
What I built
Built an Android application that responds to incoming calls and presents caller information through a custom caller screen. Integrated Android Text-to-Speech to announce the contact's name when the incoming number matches a saved contact.
Added a hands-free caller identification experience by combining a custom incoming-call screen with automatic voice announcements for recognized contacts.
