I have gone through almost all the links related to this topic but haven't found any suitable answer. I am trying to build a basic text to speech application. It works perfectly fine on the emulator. But when i run it on my phone, it shows language not supported.
I guess this has something to do with the locale. The default locale set in my phone is en_US
My code is as follows:
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
tts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
btnSpeak = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSpeak);
txtText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtText);
btnSpeak.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// Method yet to be defined
speakOut();
}
});
}
public void onInit(int status) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// TTS is successfully initialized
if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
// Setting speech language
// System.out.println(Locale.getAvailableLocales());
int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.ENGLISH);
// int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.getDefault());
// If your device doesn't support language you set above
if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA
|| result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
// Cook simple toast message with message
Toast.makeText(this, "Language not supported",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.e("TTS", "Language is not supported");
} else {
btnSpeak.setEnabled(true);
}
// TTS is not initialized properly
} else {
Toast.makeText(this, "TTS Initilization Failed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
Log.e("TTS", "Initilization Failed");
}
}
private void speakOut() {
// Get the text typed
String text = txtText.getText().toString();
// If no text is typed, tts will read out 'You haven't typed text'
// else it reads out the text you typed
if (text.length() == 0) {
tts.speak("You haven't typed text", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
} else {
tts.speak(text, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
}
}
public void onDestroy() {
// Don't forget to shutdown!
if (tts != null) {
tts.stop();
tts.shutdown();
}
super.onDestroy();
}
even if i use int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.getDefault()); instead of Locale.ENGLISH, it shows the same language not supported message
LOGCAT ERROR:
02-26 16:24:57.492: I/TextToSpeech.java(23356): initTts() successfully bound to service
02-26 16:24:58.015: E/TTS(23356): Language is not supported
I am running this on my phone- Samsung Galaxy-Y (GT-S5360) with Android version 2.3.6
found a solution myself. the problem was that the locales available on the android default tts engine did not match those on my phone.
i installed another tts engine and it works perfectly fine with it.

I am developing TextToSpeech in Android. I use the following code and it work fine.
public void EnableTextToSpeech(){
//TextToSpeech
text_to_speech = new TextToSpeech(this, new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
#Override
public void onInit(int status) {
if(status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS){
Log.d(TAG,"TextToSpeech init SUCCESS");
int result = text_to_speech.setLanguage(Locale.US);
text_to_speech.setPitch(1);
text_to_speech.setSpeechRate(1);
if(result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA || result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED){
Log.d(TAG,"TextToSpeech NOT SUPPORT");
}else {
Log.d(TAG,"TextToSpeech Enable");
String welcome = "Welcome";
text_to_speech.speak(welcome , TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH,null,"TEST");
}
}else {
Log.d(TAG,"TextToSpeech init FAIL");
}
}
});
}
But I want it to speak the multiple language like Chines and English in one sentence.
Can I set different language like the following code?
text_to_speech.setLanguage(Locale.CHINESE);
text_to_speech.setLanguage(Locale.US);
How to set and speak multiple language in a sentence for TextToSpeech in Android ?
I am getting an error with the conversion of the text to speech in android studio. I have initialised the code but it still returns no voice outputs. The code is as follows.
else if((match.contains("yes") || match.contains("yeah")) && defsele) {
//Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Default selection is done and program is starting", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
//toast.show();
defsele=false;
switch (progno) {
case 1:
//Toast toast1 = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"The default settings for cotton cycle is done",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
//toast1.show();
String cotton = "The cotton program is starting with the default values";
tts.speak(cotton, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
soak=true;
soakdef();
break;
The tts.speak gets deprecated and does not function. How can I make this work? The initialisation code is as follows:
tts = new TextToSpeech(this,this);
#Override
public void onInit(int status) {
Log.d("Speech", "OnInit - Status ["+status+"]");
if(status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS){
Log.d("Speech","Success");
tts.setLanguage(Locale.ENGLISH);
TextToSpeech textToSpeech = new TextToSpeech(getApplicationContext(), new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
#Override
public void onInit(int status) {
//your text
String textToSpeechStr = "Hello";
//status is success / 0
if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
//speech starts
textToSpeech.speak(textToSpeechStr, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
}
}
});
I am trying to add text-to-speech feature to my app, and it is working fine until I updated TTS from Google Play store.
There wasn't any delay to initialize the TTS in onCreate Method.
After the update, it would take 3-5 seconds for this TTS to finish initializing.
Basically, the text-to-speech is not ready until 3-5 seconds later.
Can someone please tell me what I've done wrong?
private HashMap<String, String> TTS_ID = new HashMap<String, String>();
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
.....
.....
TextToSpeech_Initialize();
}
public void TextToSpeech_Initialize() {
TTS_ID.put(TextToSpeech.Engine.KEY_PARAM_UTTERANCE_ID, "UniqueID");
speech = new TextToSpeech(MainActivity.this, new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
#Override
public void onInit(int status) {
if(status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
speech.setSpeechRate(SpeechRateValue);
speech.speak(IntroSpeech, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, TTS_ID);
}
}
});
}
Thank you very much
Confirmed! This is an issue with Google text to speech engine, if you try any other tts the delay disappears, eg Pico tts.
I have stumbled across this problem before but now I have found a proper solution..
You can initialize TextToSpeach in onCreate() like this:
TextToSpeach textToSpeech = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
but first you need to implement TextToSpeech.OnInitListener, and then you need to override the onInit() method:
#Override
public void onInit(int status) {
if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
int result = tts.setLanguage(Locale.US);
if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA
|| result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Language not supported", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
} else {
button.setEnabled(true);
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Init failed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
I also noticed that if you didn't set the language in onInit() there is gonna be a delay!!
And now you can write the method that says the text:
private void speakOut(final String detectedText){
if(textToSpeech !=null){
textToSpeech.stop(); //stop and say the new word
textToSpeech.speak(detectedText ,TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null, null);
}
}
I have problem with pronouncing Turkish characters using Google tts api. It doesn't say anything when i use Utf8 chars for example "ş","ı","ö". How can i solve it?
public void onInit(int status) {
if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
Locale locale = new Locale("tr", "TR");
int result = tts.setLanguage(locale);
if (result == TextToSpeech.LANG_MISSING_DATA
|| result == TextToSpeech.LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED) {
Log.e("TTS", "This Language is not supported");
} else {
bCevir.setEnabled(true);
speakOut();
}
} else {
Log.e("TTS", "Initilization Failed!");
}
}
private void speakOut() {
String Str = null;
Str="Nasılsın";
tts.speak(Str, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
}
}
The problem was solved. It has nothing to do with us or code. It's because of Google text to speech engine that it is ok after last TTS update.
I found TTS service Turkish support. I tried it, works perfect. Read this article http://www.maxicep.com/forum/konu/svox-tts-motoru-turkce-maxipda.930275/

u have to set locale for that in speak out method
NOTE: phone and eclipse should support your locale
