Hack Day Tutorial 5: No Text While Driving (Text-to-Speech)


In this tutorial, students will learn how to use the text-to-speech feature in App Inventor.

In this tutorial, you will create an app that autoresponds to text messages while the user is driving. The user also has the option to have the app speak the message that was received.

To earn the "No Text While Driving" badge, get started building your app following the tutorial instructions you printed out (see "Hack Day information" task to download these instructions). Post your questions and customization ideas below. When you are finished, post a comment and upload an image of your finished app!
