You had an important plan, so you set it in your calendar or reminder app.
But later you realized, “The notification sound definitely rang, but I didn’t look at my phone,” or “By the time I noticed, it was already too late.”
Have you ever experienced this?
You might be thinking, “Isn’t there an Android reminder app that tells me my schedule by voice, like Amazon Alexa?”
Especially in situations where notification sounds are easy to miss, or when your hands are busy, it would be much easier to notice if the phone spoke the reminder out loud before you even looked at the screen.
Android app Reminder FLEX with its Text-to-speech feature is designed to solve exactly this problem.
When a notification appears, your phone reads the reminder title out loud using voice alert, making it much harder to miss or forget.
Best of all, the talking reminder feature is available for free with no usage limits.

Text-to-speech (Voice alert) FAQ
Q: Will the voice play through the speaker even when headphones are connected?
A: By default, the voice alert always plays through the phone speaker.
There is also a premium feature with a 10 day free trial that allows voice output only through headphones when they are connected.
If you want to temporarily disable spoken reminders, such as while waiting at a hospital, you can turn on “Mute all alerts” which is free, or set your phone to silent mode.
If “Speak even in silent mode” is enabled, the voice will still play even in silent mode.
Q: Can I change the voice type or speaking style?
A: This depends on your Android device, but in most cases you can change the voice to male or female, as well as adjust speech speed in your device settings.

What you can do with the Text-to-speech feature
With Reminder FLEX, the Text-to-speech feature allows your Android reminder app to read the reminder title or memo out loud at the scheduled time.
You can understand what the reminder is about without looking at your phone, even while cooking, driving, or working.
Here are some common use cases.
Prevent forgetting to take medicine
By setting a daily voice alert like “It’s time to take your medicine,” you can avoid missing doses, even during meals or busy hours.
Reminding you of appointments with clients
Even while moving or working, the app can say “You have a meeting with Mr. Smith at 3 PM.”
By combining this with countdown notifications, you can hear reminders earlier, such as “Two days left until your meeting.”
Routine tasks like trash day, watering plants, or work habits
Examples include “Non burnable trash day,” “Fertilize plants,” or “Do not forget the timestamp.”
You can set repeating schedules such as every second Tuesday, every two weeks, or every weekday, and have them spoken automatically.
You can also choose whether voice alerts should play while the phone is in silent mode or when notifications are muted.
This flexibility lets you stay quiet in public and still hear spoken reminders at home.
How to use the Text-to-speech feature
The setup is very simple, even for Android beginners or first time reminder app users.
When creating a reminder, just select “Text-to-speech” as the alert type.
That is all it takes to enable the talking reminder.
Reminder FLEX is not just about sending notifications.
It is an Android reminder app designed to help you truly notice and take action.
