It makes an intensive use of the android speech engine. It also has a number of controls to put you in charge including the ability to increase or decrease the speed of the audio. You also get breaking news notifications. If you prefer the good old do-it-yourself style where you have to click, click and click instead of just listening, then the option is available for you. The app is not just about headlines, you can ‘dive’ into the details of any headline that is of interest to you by hitting the right button while the headline is being read out.
Sankira is a news mobile phone app developed by Yusuf Bello, founder of Abuja-based YB Code Lab (www.ybcodelab.com). The name “Sankira” is the Hausa name for Town Crier.
