Action Menu Voice Can Now Read SMS and MMS | Cydia

Action Menu Voice is a free extension to Ryan Petrich’s amazing Action Menu tweak that brings proper text-to-speech features to jailbroken devices. With a “lips” button in Action Menu’s default interface, you can let your iPhone or iPad “speak” selected text pretty much like on OS X.

The latest 0.6-3 update (available as usual for free in Cydia), brings support for reading SMS and MMS. So if you, say, got that awkward text from your drunk friend last night and you’d like to make fun of him with a creepy robotic voice - well, now you can.

I don’t know why you’d want to, though.
