Nice little jailbreak tweak - especially for those who are always wearing their headphones or bluetooth. Does what you think, speaks your notifications. Just installed and good amount of customization. Can control on per app basis.

Just came here to see if anyone has tried it yet. I used to use Speak Events and Aloud. Not sure if those have been abandoned but I'm going to try this.

Yeah it can be. Especially when you forget to turn it off and people around you hear texts you don't want them to hear.

Well I got this primarily to read out text messages. I have BiteSMS installed and it doesn't seem to work. :(

Yeah I've tried everything in settings. I know notifications need to be enabled. They are. For Messages, anyway. I don't see BiteSMS as an item under Notification Center though, but I do get the quick reply BiteSMS windows for texts. This is on a 5S.

This may sound silly but make sure your phone is not on vibrate as it doesn't work then, obviously. Did you try enabling headphones only and see if it works that way? try and narrow down the problem.

Did you try multiple app notifications besides messages?
