Detailed Description

The TextToSpeech component speaks a given text aloud. You can set the pitch and the rate of speech.

You can also set a language by supplying a language code. This changes the pronunciation of words, not the actual language spoken. For example, setting the Language() to French and speaking English text will sound like someone speaking English (en) with a French accent.

You can also specify a country by supplying a Country() code. This can affect the pronunciation. For example, British English (GBR) will sound different from US English (USA). Not every country code will affect every language.

The languages and countries available depend on the particular device, and can be listed with the AvailableLanguages() and AvailableCountries() properties.

Parameters

container container, component will be placed in

Definition at line 132 of file TextToSpeech.java.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AfterSpeaking()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.AfterSpeaking ( boolean result )

Event to raise after the message is spoken. The result{:.variable.block} will be true{:.logic.block} if the message is spoken successfully, otherwise it will be false{:.logic.block}.

Parameters

result whether the message was successfully spoken

Definition at line 462 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ AvailableCountries()

YailList com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.AvailableCountries ( )

Definition at line 376 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ AvailableLanguages()

YailList com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.AvailableLanguages ( )

Definition at line 368 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ BeforeSpeaking()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.BeforeSpeaking ( )

Event to raise when Speak is invoked, before the message is spoken.

Definition at line 449 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ Country() [1/2]

String com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.Country ( )

Gets the country for this TextToSpeech component. This will be either an ISO2 (i.e. 2 letter) or ISO3 (i.e. 3 letter) code depending on which kind of code the property was set with.

@suppressdoc

Returns: country code for this TextToSpeech component.

Definition at line 361 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ Country() [2/2]

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.Country ( String country )

Country code to use for speech generation. This can affect the pronunciation. For example, British English (GBR) will sound different from US English (USA). Not every country code will affect every language.

Parameters

country is the ISO2 (i.e. 2 letter) or ISO3 (i.e. 3 letter) country code to set this TextToSpeech component to.

Definition at line 325 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ Language() [1/2]

String com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.Language ( )

Gets the language for this TextToSpeech component. This will be either an ISO2 (i.e. 2 letter) or ISO3 (i.e. 3 letter) code depending on which kind of code the property was set with.

@suppressdoc

Returns: the language code for this TextToSpeech component.

Definition at line 307 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ Language() [2/2]

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.Language ( String language )

Sets the language for TextToSpeech. This changes the way that words are pronounced, not the actual language that is spoken. For example, setting the language to French and speaking English text will sound like someone speaking English with a French accent.

Parameters

language is the ISO2 (i.e. 2 letter) or ISO3 (i.e. 3 letter) language code to set this TextToSpeech component to.

Definition at line 194 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ onDestroy()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.onDestroy ( )

Implements com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.OnDestroyListener.

Definition at line 478 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ onResume()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.onResume ( )

Implements com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.OnResumeListener.

Definition at line 473 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ onStop()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.onStop ( )

Implements com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.OnStopListener.

Definition at line 467 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ Pitch() [1/2]

float com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.Pitch ( )

Reports the current value of speech pitch. @suppressdoc

Definition at line 256 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ Pitch() [2/2]

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.Pitch ( float pitch )

Sets the speech pitch for the TextToSpeech.

The values should be between 0 and 2 where lower values lower the tone of synthesized voice and greater values raise it.

The default value is 1.0 for normal pitch.

Parameters

pitch a pitch level between 0 and 2

Definition at line 237 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ prepareLanguageAndCountryProperties()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.prepareLanguageAndCountryProperties ( )

Definition at line 381 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ Result()

boolean com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.Result ( )

Returns true{:.logic.block} if the text was successfully converted to speech, otherwise false{:.logic.block}.

Definition at line 176 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ Speak()

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.Speak ( final String message )

Speaks the given message.

Definition at line 438 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ SpeechRate() [1/2]

float com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.SpeechRate ( )

Reports the current value of speechRate. @suppressdoc

Definition at line 295 of file TextToSpeech.java.

◆ SpeechRate() [2/2]

void com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.TextToSpeech.SpeechRate ( float speechRate )

Sets the SpeechRate for TextToSpeech.

The values should be between 0 and 2 where lower values slow down the pitch and greater values accelerate it.

The default value is 1.0 for normal speech rate.

Parameters

speechRate Speech rate 1.0 is the normal speech rate, lower values slow down the speech (0.5 is half the normal speech rate), greater values accelerate it (2.0 is twice the normal speech rate).
