Question

I am designing an application for which i need to read out the characters typed by the person in a text field aloud . Can I do such a thing with android? If yes, how?

Answer 1

You can use TextWatcher for reading characters typed by the person in a text field as:

FIRST SOLUTION :

editText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher(){ 
@Override   
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {   
       //GET TEXT HERE AFTER TYPING DONE BY PERSON   
    }   
@Override   
public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s,int start,int count,int after){  
      //GET TEXT HERE BEFORE TYPING START BY PERSON   
    }   
@Override   
public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {   
   //GET TYPED CHAR HERE 
  }   
}); 

SECOND SOLUTION: you can also get typed char by user from edittext using setOnKeyListener as:

editText.setOnKeyListener(new EditText.OnClickListener(){   
public boolean onKey(View v,int keyCode,KeyEvent event)   
{   
     String str=editText.getText(); //GET TYPED CHAR HERE  
     return false;   
}   
});
