Hi,
Very easy. Begin here (Top right of your screen)



Then you get a choice like this one - Try it: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/android-text-to-speech-example.7043/

It works very well actually (both TTS and the Search Function)

Enjoy !!

Put the TTS code in the starter service and call it with CallSub.

Erel, Unfortunately I did not succeed
-main and starter-
What should I write in main to load starter and speach a variable memorized in main?
I am very sad :/

An example is attached. Click on the activity.

Note that I could have made tts a public variable and access it directly. However generally speaking it is better to keep it private and only access it from its own module.

It work very well.
One last question and I really hope it's the last one:

Sub buttonREAD_Click
stringa = File.ReadString(File.DirAssets,"FILE.txt") 'read txt file
CallSub2(Starter, "Speak", stringa)
end sub

Sub buttonPAUSE_Click

???

End Sub

Sub buttonSTOP_Click

???

End Sub

Thanks

Please use [code]code here...[/code] tags when posting code.

TTS doesn't provide a method to stop or pause playback. You can call speak again with a very short text or empty text (you need to try it) and with ClearQueue parameter set to true to stop playback.
