App to read out Caller Name or Number for Android Devices

Google Play occupies the millions of Android apps for Android devices and finding the useful apps for yourself might be difficult. It depends on user needs what he or she wants for his or her android device. But, here i have brought Android apps which can be useful for the users who want to know the caller name or number without getting out the phone from the pocket or while driving. So, you can decide whether you should pick up the phone or not especially while driving.
List of Android Apps:
1. Caller Name Talker:- This android app allows the user to play caller name only if the caller name is in contacts list and you can also make alert tone ON/OFF manually when your phone is in silent mode. It also configures time interval to repeat playing caller name and can add a message before and after caller name. It alert you with SMS sender name while receiving an SMS. You can also change voice speed and pitch settings. It also provides option to test current voice speed and pitch by using custom message. These features may not be unique but, reading your SMS content for you could be interesting feature.

2. Caller Name Announcer:- This app may not be popular but works very well. It also provides text-to-speech feature that makes possible to speak out name of the caller. It works similar to Caller Name Talker app and no need to make change the settings of your phone. It analyzes the contact list of your phone and if someone calls you, it speaks out the name only when it is available on your contact list.

3. Announcify:- This is the most popular app among all. This also works similar to above mentioned apps. But, these are not only the features that make this app popular. On the contrast, it help you to read out SMS, MMS, Gmail, Gtalk too with mute gesture and very customizable features. And it also allows you to read out loudly Ebook or PDF files installed in your phone, instead of reading them.


Installation: All the above mentioned apps require Text-to-Speech. If it is pre-installed in your phone, then you can operate these apps. Otherwise, when you run these application first time, then it check's whether text-to-speech engine is installed or not, if not then it redirects you on Google play for TTS engine to install it only once. And the best thing is that all these apps are available free at Google Play.

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer  is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor.  Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

Comparison Chart Between 8051, 8052, 8031and 8751

8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller and has been used in many applications since Intel introduced it. Many 8051 architecture are produced by Triscend, Intel, Atmel, Philips, Infineon (Siemens), ISSI, and Max Corp. Today, 8051 microcontrollers may not be popular but, the 8051 architecture is still popular and employed in thousands of embedded applications. This 8-bit architecture has been different segments such as 8052, 8051, 8751 and 8031 . 8052 is the super-set of 8051 and 8031 is the memory-less microcontroller hence, it has interfaced with external ROM. Whereas, 8751 chip has only 4Kbytes of on chip UV-EPROM. Everyone knows about the general 40-pin microcontroller i.e. 8051 introduced by Intel in 1980s and consists of serial communication pins, Timer, Interrupts, RAM, ROM. It has 4 ports and each port has 8 pins, total 32 pins and other 8 pins for other purposes. 8052 is the super-set of 8051 that consists of 8K bytes of internal RAM (4K in 8051), 256 by...

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop   program function in which Delay() funct...
