The app I am building requires me to speak out loud, using the inbuilt TextToSpeech algorithm, a random string from almost any language without using the Internet. I am not sure how to go about this.
Below is what I have so far, but it does not work with languages which are not similar to English, e.g. Chinese. I believe this is due to the Locale that is set to US.
t1=new TextToSpeech(context, new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
@Override
public void onInit(int status) {
if(status != TextToSpeech.ERROR) {
t1.setLanguage(Locale.US); // TODO: 22/09/2015 FIX LOCALE FOR TextToSpeech
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
/** creates a high quality voice when on Lollipop or better android version */
Voice voice = new Voice("voice", Locale.US, Voice.QUALITY_VERY_HIGH, Voice.LATENCY_NORMAL, false, null);
t1.setVoice(voice);
}
}
}
});
v.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
TextView tv = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.to_language);
String toSpeak = tv.getText().toString();
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
t1.speak(toSpeak, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null, v.getTag().toString());
t1.setOnUtteranceProgressListener(new UtteranceProgressListener() {
@Override
public void onStart(String utteranceId) {
//tv.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#57d801"));
}
@Override
public void onDone(String utteranceId) {
//tv.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF"));
}
@Override
public void onError(String utteranceId) {
}
});
} else {
t1.speak(toSpeak, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
t1.setOnUtteranceCompletedListener(new TextToSpeech.OnUtteranceCompletedListener() {
@Override
public void onUtteranceCompleted(String utteranceId) {
}
});
}
}
});
If anyone could point me in the right direction for a solution to my problem it would be greatly appreciated.
