Question

Are there any built in Text To Speech Libraries in Android? and if not do you know any external libraries to use?

Answer 1

Have a look at this Android TTS API.

Here’s an example of using it:

t1=new TextToSpeech(getApplicationContext(), new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
        @Override
        public void onInit(int status) {
            if(status != TextToSpeech.ERROR) {
                t1.setLanguage(Locale.UK);
            }
        }
    });

t1.speak("This will be spoken.", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
