Virtual Voice & Electric Ears This Android app is designed for deaf and mute people, with the aim of helping them communicate using text-to-speech and speech synthesis technology built into Android. The app is free to download and use, with its developer promising that there'll be no adverts either. Android Carcassonne Board game Carcassonne has plenty of loyal fans, and it already has a version for iOS. Now Exozet Games and AMA have launched it for Android and BlackBerry too, complete with the River II official expansion content.
