Works great on an HTC desire (with Froyo) 

I installed from the Market on a Nexus one and worked fine. I latter tried to install on a Galaxy S, but the app doesn't appear on the Market anymore.

App updated on 12/13/10! See updated posting above.

Hi gary.comtois,

Congratulation for your application !
I'm working too on a TTS app, Is it possible for you to send me the part of code about TTS implementation in processing ?
I've some difficulties with the TTS constructor :

1. mTts = new TextToSpeech(this,
2. this
3. );

The first line give me a "cannot find symbol". I think cause of the android.content.Context use in processing...

many thanks for you help !

Best.

Hi Gary!

Thanks for sharing !
It's look like a code built with Eclipse and processing.core isn't it ?
I'm trying to build this under processing 0194...I need to adapt your code.
Anyway many thanks!

I've been building the project using Ant for a while now. I haven't used Eclipse with Processing.core.

Hi Gary,

I'have tried to download your app on my phone (I have tested your app on a friend's phone not on mine), but I can't download... :-/
I'm not sure TTS works on Spica under Android 2.1, it's look like there is some freeze problem with the TTS eyes-free application : TTS freeze
Same on me with this app.
I have tried to adapt your code in this way:

1. import android.content.Context;
2. import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech;
3. import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.OnInitListener;
4. import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.Engine;
5. import android.os.Bundle;
6. import android.util.Log;
7. import java.util.Locale;
8. public class texttospeech extends PApplet implements TextToSpeech.OnInitListener {
9.   private TextToSpeech mTts;
10.   static final String TAG = "TextToSpeechDemo";
11.   void setup() {
12.   }
13.   void draw() {
14.   }
15.   public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstance) {
16.     super.onCreate(savedInstance);
17.     mTts = new TextToSpeech(getApplicationContext(), (OnInitListener) this);
18.   }
19.   void mousePressed() {
20.     parleMoi();
21.   }
22.   public void onInit(int status) {
23.     if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
24.       int result = mTts.setLanguage(Locale.US);
25.       if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA || result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
26.         println( "Language is not available.");
27.       }
28.       else {
29.         parleMoi();
30.       }
31.     }
32.     else {
33.       // Initialization failed.
34.      println( "Could not initialize TextToSpeech.");
35.     }
36.   }
37.   void parleMoi() {
38.     String s ="bonjour hello";
39.     mTts.speak(s, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
40.     println("ok");
41.   }
42. }

Running on my phone, ok is printing, but it displays "Language is not available." with all language :-/
Someone can test this on his phone please ? maybe it's a spica execption ?

Many thanks !

ok I understand that I need

to install the data that's required for the device to become a multi-lingual talking machine!

using this code:

1. protected void onActivityResult(
           int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
       if (requestCode == MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE) {
           if (resultCode == TextToSpeech.Engine.CHECK_VOICE_DATA_PASS) {
               // success, create the TTS instance
               mTts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
           } else {
               // missing data, install it
               Intent installIntent = new Intent();
               installIntent.setAction(
                   TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_INSTALL_TTS_DATA);
               startActivity(installIntent);
           }
       }
   }

but my phone start loading something and stop. Nothing happen
Any ideas ?

Damn !


It's working !
I have trying on another phone because mine was bugging (it can't connect to the android market ! :-/)
It was "only" a problem of internet connection. I don't know why, but my phone doesn't want anymore to connect to the market...
