I wanted to know how can I make a Engine to support Hindi for Text-To -Speech for Android.
I don't want to use any paid Engine version nor I want to have a web-service kind of interface providing the transliteration. I wanted to build an actual Hindi Support TTS Engine. How can I start? What are the steps.
Thanks,

i am trying to build a game with unity which have Arabic speech recognition to be used on android devices. I am stuck at the speech recognition tool. which one is more suitable with unity ? can i use google API directly ? if yes can i control the data ?
or sphinx is more suitable for game on android device ? I have read about sphinx but the acoustic model of Arabic language was not available but for it.
I have tried to make it using MATLAB but it will cost me a lot to build it on mobile using MATLAB coder and also it does not have all the required libraries.
any help about this ?
Official unity plugin for pocketsphinx is here:

Arabic model has to be trained, yes. In the end you could have a good system, but you have to invest enough into it.
I am developing android application for illiterate people. One of the feature of this application is to read the text that application produces. So I am in need of the Text To Speech System. I found some of the Frameworks that suits me theoritically like
Flite
eSpeak
I even found Flite port into the Android. happyalu/Flite-TTS-Engine-for-Android
The application user will not be able to understand english. My problem is now
Which framework to use?
How to add new languge in these frameworks?
I'm writing an Android application which needs to speak out a text (i.e the TextToSpeech functionality in an eReader). I am trying to do this in Papiamento Languages ("http://www.narin.com/papiamentu/"). Is this possible? If so, how could I do it? There are some TTS engines available. I used eSpeak TTS Engine. With the use of eSpeak, I was able to configure the settings page to use it as the default engine. But how could I use that engine to do TTS in our application? Thanks.
Unfortunately Papiamento isn't supported at the OS level, nor do pretty much every 3rd party TTS engine. I wish it did though, saw a few people using our app when I was in Curaçao a few weeks ago :)
Currently, only espeak supports this language, and it should be as easy as going to your android settings, general management or language and input, text to speech, preferred tts engine and select espeak as the default tts engine, which should automatically synthesize using espeak.
I'm learning to develop app on Android with eclipse and ADT plug-in.
Now I want my app to read Chinese text, according to this artical in android SDK document http://androidappdocs.appspot.com/resources/articles/tts.html
The TTS engine support speaking English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, so I want to know:
Does this TTS engine also support Chinese speaking?
If not, is there any other way to add this function?
Thanks!
The Android TTS engine does not yet support Chinese.
I am trying to build an application (which would use the Hindi language and other regional languages) to get speech voice commands.
I also need text to speech functionality in my application.
I was wondering if there was any way I could get a speech recognition library on Android? I did a quick Google search and found a couple of libraries for Hindi on the Internet but I am not sure if I can include them in my Android project. Can I?
You can use pocketsphinx for your app.It has JAVA and Python API's for capturing and recognizing speech. By default it recognizes only English. But if you provide your own Language Model (LM) and Dictionary File(.DIC), you should be able to get it working.
Not directly straightforward as using an API, but can be certainly doable

Android does support a few languages but not very many, I think the list currently is US, Japanese and Chinese. Not Hindi yet though I would think they are working to add new language support soon.
Over on the Android Developers page they have a good example.
