 Welcome to the forum,

 

 As Windows phone is entirely under the control of Microsoft you can offer your suggestion at the following website.

Re: Windows - Say callers name

Hi! This feature is already available in Windows Phone 7.5.... Just on your start screen, tap 'Settings' > 'Ease of Access', and then turn the 'Speech for Phone Accessibility' to on.... This will let your lumia say the caller's name through loud speaker....

That option is missing in WP8 on the Lumia 920.

This a regionally dependent localisation but all devices destined for US market have it, but if you change language of device to English(US) after restart option you should find "Speech for phone accessibility".

920 in US has it. Do you have a 'Ease of Access' heading in settings?  If so, is that is where "Speech for phone accessibility" should be. If not there, probably a Telstra decision.

Hi MikeAus,

I have a 920 too and what you are looking for is in Settings > Speech, not Settings > Ease of Access.

Not here. Mine has no such option, just to read messages.

Re: Windows - Say callers name

Based on a US, AT&T, 920 in Settings>Speech is an option to read aloud text messages, and you can select, always, BT, Headset, or BT and headset.

In Settings> Ease of Access there is a setting, Speech for phone accessibility, for speed dial, call forwarding, and announcing caller ID. It is either on or off.

 

I expect the Ease of Access may vary depending on local laws concerning folks with disabilities. It also covers things like high contrast screen, magnifier, TTY/TDD, etc.
