Speech Synthesis Download Android
I want to know whether is there any way I can save the input to the android speaker.I mean save the current voice being played by the speaker.This I need because android TTS speech synthesizer doesn't work.So I cannot save the audio,I can just play it. SpeechSynthesizer class provides access to the functionality of an installed speech synthesis engine (voice). Step 1: Open a blank app and add a Button and A TextBox either from the toolbox or by copying the following XAML code into your grid.
Narrator’s Voice is another best text to speech app that every Android users would love to have. The great thing about the Narrator’s Voice is its interface which looks clean and fantastic. Not just that, but the app also allows users to add various sound effects to the speech synthesis.
public class TextToSpeech
extends Object
java.lang.Object | |
↳ | android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech |
Synthesizes speech from text for immediate playback or to create a sound file.
A TextToSpeech instance can only be used to synthesize text once it has completed its initialization. Implement the TextToSpeech.OnInitListener
to be notified of the completion of the initialization.
When you are done using the TextToSpeech instance, call the shutdown()
method to release the native resources used by the TextToSpeech engine.

---|---|
String | Package name of the TTS engine that the user has chosen as their default. |
getDefaultLanguage
This method was deprecated in API level 21.
As of API level 21, use getDefaultVoice().getLocale()
(getDefaultVoice()
)
Returns a Locale instance describing the language currently being used as the default Text-to-speech language. The locale object returned by this method is NOT a valid one. It has identical form to the one in getLanguage()
. Please refer to getLanguage()
for more information.

Returns | |
---|---|
List<TextToSpeech.EngineInfo> | A list of engine info objects. The list can be empty, but never null . |
getFeatures
This method was deprecated in API level 21.
As of API level 21, please use voices. In order to query features of the voice, call getVoices()
to retrieve the list of available voices and Voice#getFeatures()
to retrieve the set of features.
Queries the engine for the set of features it supports for a given locale. Features can either be framework defined, e.g. TextToSpeech.Engine#KEY_FEATURE_NETWORK_SYNTHESIS
or engine specific. Engine specific keys must be prefixed by the name of the engine they are intended for. These keys can be used as parameters to )'>TextToSpeech#speak(String, int, java.util.HashMap)
and ,%20java.lang.String)'>TextToSpeech#synthesizeToFile(String, java.util.HashMap, String)
. Features values are strings and their values must meet restrictions described in their documentation.
Parameters | |
---|---|
locale | Locale : The locale to query features for. |
Returns | |
---|---|
Set<String> | Set instance. May return null on error. |
getLanguage
This method was deprecated in API level 21.
As of API level 21, please use getVoice().getLocale()
(getVoice()
).
Returns a Locale instance describing the language currently being used for synthesis requests sent to the TextToSpeech engine. In Android 4.2 and before (API <= 17) this function returns the language that is currently being used by the TTS engine. That is the last language set by this or any other client by a TextToSpeech#setLanguage
call to the same engine. In Android versions after 4.2 this function returns the language that is currently being used for the synthesis requests sent from this client. That is the last language set by a TextToSpeech#setLanguage
call on this instance. If a voice is set (by setVoice(android.speech.tts.Voice)
), getLanguage will return the language of the currently set voice. Please note that the Locale object returned by this method is NOT a valid Locale object. Its language field contains a three-letter ISO 639-2/T code (where a proper Locale would use a two-letter ISO 639-1 code), and the country field contains a three-letter ISO 3166 country code (where a proper Locale would use a two-letter ISO 3166-1 code).
Returns | |
---|---|
Locale | language, country (if any) and variant (if any) used by the client stored in a Locale instance, or null on error. |
getMaxSpeechInputLength

Plays the earcon using the specified queueing mode and parameters. The earcon must already have been added with addEarcon(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
or addEarcon(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, int)
. This method is asynchronous, i.e. the method just adds the request to the queue of TTS requests and then returns. The synthesis might not have finished (or even started!) at the time when this method returns. In order to reliably detect errors during synthesis, we recommend setting an utterance progress listener (see setOnUtteranceProgressListener(UtteranceProgressListener)
) and using the Engine#KEY_PARAM_UTTERANCE_ID
parameter.
Parameters | |
---|---|

Engine specific parameters may be passed in but the parameter keys must be prefixed by the name of the engine they are intended for. For example the keys 'com.svox.pico_foo' and 'com.svox.pico:bar' will be passed to the engine named 'com.svox.pico' if it is being used. |
Returns | |
---|---|
int | ERROR or SUCCESS of queuing the playEarcon operation. |
playEarcon
Plays the earcon using the specified queueing mode and parameters. The earcon must already have been added with addEarcon(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
or addEarcon(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, int)
. This method is asynchronous, i.e. the method just adds the request to the queue of TTS requests and then returns. The synthesis might not have finished (or even started!) at the time when this method returns. In order to reliably detect errors during synthesis, we recommend setting an utterance progress listener (see setOnUtteranceProgressListener(UtteranceProgressListener)
) and using the Engine#KEY_PARAM_UTTERANCE_ID
parameter.
Parameters | |
---|---|

As of API level 21, replaced by playSilentUtterance(long, int, java.lang.String)
.
Plays silence for the specified amount of time using the specified queue mode. This method is asynchronous, i.e. the method just adds the request to the queue of TTS requests and then returns. The synthesis might not have finished (or even started!) at the time when this method returns. In order to reliably detect errors during synthesis, we recommend setting an utterance progress listener (see setOnUtteranceProgressListener(UtteranceProgressListener)
) and using the Engine#KEY_PARAM_UTTERANCE_ID
parameter.

to check the level of support before choosing the language to use for the next utterances. This method sets the current voice to the default one for the given Locale; getVoice()
can be used to retrieve it.
Parameters | |
---|---|

shutdown
Releases the resources used by the TextToSpeech engine. It is good practice for instance to call this method in the onDestroy() method of an Activity so the TextToSpeech engine can be cleanly stopped.
speak
Speaks the text using the specified queuing strategy and speech parameters, the text may be spanned with TtsSpans. This method is asynchronous, i.e. the method just adds the request to the queue of TTS requests and then returns. The synthesis might not have finished (or even started!) at the time when this method returns. In order to reliably detect errors during synthesis, we recommend setting an utterance progress listener (see setOnUtteranceProgressListener(UtteranceProgressListener)
) and using the Engine#KEY_PARAM_UTTERANCE_ID
parameter.
Parameters | |
---|---|
text | CharSequence : The string of text to be spoken. No longer than getMaxSpeechInputLength() characters. |
queueMode | int : The queuing strategy to use, QUEUE_ADD or QUEUE_FLUSH . |
params | Bundle : Parameters for the request. Can be null. Supported parameter names: Engine#KEY_PARAM_STREAM , Engine#KEY_PARAM_VOLUME , Engine#KEY_PARAM_PAN . Engine specific parameters may be passed in but the parameter keys must be prefixed by the name of the engine they are intended for. For example the keys 'com.svox.pico_foo' and 'com.svox.pico:bar' will be passed to the engine named 'com.svox.pico' if it is being used. |
utteranceId | String : An unique identifier for this request. |
Returns | |
---|---|
int | ERROR or SUCCESS of queuing the speak operation. |
speak
This method was deprecated in API level 21.
As of API level 21, replaced by speak(java.lang.CharSequence, int, android.os.Bundle, java.lang.String)
.
Speaks the string using the specified queuing strategy and speech parameters. This method is asynchronous, i.e. the method just adds the request to the queue of TTS requests and then returns. The synthesis might not have finished (or even started!) at the time when this method returns. In order to reliably detect errors during synthesis, we recommend setting an utterance progress listener (see setOnUtteranceProgressListener(UtteranceProgressListener)
) and using the Engine#KEY_PARAM_UTTERANCE_ID
parameter.
Parameters | |
---|---|
text | String : The string of text to be spoken. No longer than getMaxSpeechInputLength() characters. |
queueMode | int : The queuing strategy to use, QUEUE_ADD or QUEUE_FLUSH . |
params | HashMap : Parameters for the request. Can be null. Supported parameter names: Engine#KEY_PARAM_STREAM , Engine#KEY_PARAM_UTTERANCE_ID , Engine#KEY_PARAM_VOLUME , Engine#KEY_PARAM_PAN . Engine specific parameters may be passed in but the parameter keys must be prefixed by the name of the engine they are intended for. For example the keys 'com.svox.pico_foo' and 'com.svox.pico:bar' will be passed to the engine named 'com.svox.pico' if it is being used. |
Returns | |
---|---|
int | ERROR or SUCCESS of queuing the speak operation. |
stop
Interrupts the current utterance (whether played or rendered to file) and discards other utterances in the queue.
Returns | |
---|---|
int | ERROR or SUCCESS . |
synthesizeToFile
Synthesizes the given text to a file using the specified parameters. This method is asynchronous, i.e. the method just adds the request to the queue of TTS requests and then returns. The synthesis might not have finished (or even started!) at the time when this method returns. In order to reliably detect errors during synthesis, we recommend setting an utterance progress listener (see setOnUtteranceProgressListener(UtteranceProgressListener)
).
Parameters | |
---|---|
text | CharSequence : The text that should be synthesized. No longer than getMaxSpeechInputLength() characters. |
params | Bundle : Parameters for the request. Can be null. Engine specific parameters may be passed in but the parameter keys must be prefixed by the name of the engine they are intended for. For example the keys 'com.svox.pico_foo' and 'com.svox.pico:bar' will be passed to the engine named 'com.svox.pico' if it is being used. |
file | File : File to write the generated audio data to. |
utteranceId | String : An unique identifier for this request. |
Returns | |
---|---|
int | ERROR or SUCCESS of queuing the synthesizeToFile operation. |
