B4A Library TTS ID (Text To Speech)

Hello everyone.
A couple of days ago I need some features that I did not find the TTS library by @Erel .
They are simple functions, so I decided to use the Compile Library to share with you.

The functions are basically the same as the tts of @Erel with some additional.

NEW
- AllAvailableLanguages
- isSpeaking
- TextToAudio
- IsAvailableLanguage
- MaxSpeechLength
- GetEngines
- SetEngineByPackageName

The other functions are the same as the original TTS
Attached there is a demo

Edit: 1.1 added stop function
Edit: 1.2 added Done event (Like Ready on tts lib)

HI Douglas Farias
when click "speak" Button,it takes between 5 and 10 seconds to pronounce words!
What is the cause of this?
thank you

It might depend on how long the text to read is as I guess it first has to.synthesize it. I usually break text into sentences and speak each sentence..

Hi ,
following situation: on samsung phones there is the samsung speach engine preselected - in europe google maintains many different languages. Problem is that even if I change language engines, when querying for available languages, that it still shows me only the languages of the originally selected engine. Anyone have a clue what I could do ?

Working like a charm.. thanks Douglas for this very useful library.
A few points:
1. When run the app, for the first time, the layout is shrunk to about 1" x 1", and appeared at the top-left corner.. after about 10 seconds or longer
it fills the screen and all views are shown in their normal size.
2. Are there voices other than the female's?
3. I couldn't see the Arabic language in the supported language list.

Thanks again.

hi, in this code says tts supports arabic language . but nothing happened when call tts.speak. can any body solve this? tnx alot.
If tts.IsAvailableLanguage("ar_EG") Then tts.SetLanguage("ar","EG")
tts.Speak("القط",False)

 

[rboeck]

Maybe it works with "ar_SA"?

 

[PodSoft2016]

No, ar_SA Not Works Too... It seems Arabic Language Not Supported In Google tts.

 

[rboeck]

On my mobile i get speach output with this code. Maybe your mobile is set to another speech engine? On my mobile i am able to download arabic voice in four different voices. Search for installing voices on your mobile.

My Phone is xiaomi 9s with android 10. whats your phone name and android version?

 

[rboeck]

Its a ZTE Axon7, Android 8; take a look to Point 5 here: https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/6006983?hl=en
Later i have tested it on Nexus 6P and OnePlus Nord N100 - each is able to speak arabic with this code: ar_SA

 

[PodSoft2016]

Yes, I Update Google Text to Speech And Arabic Added To Language List. Tnx alot

I could see on my mobile, that since some years this download is done automaticly. But maybe not on all devices.
