ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'speak' of null, js engine: hermes

I'm getting this error:

ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'speak' of null, js engine: hermes

Code:

import { StatusBar } from 'expo-status-bar';
import React, { useEffect } from 'react';
import { StyleSheet, Text, View, Button } from 'react-native';
import {SafeAreaView} from "react-native-safe-area-context"
import Tts from 'react-native-tts';

export default function App() {

  function handleSpeak() {
    Tts.speak("Hello")

  }

  return (
    <SafeAreaView>
      <Text>Open up App.js to start working on your app!</Text>
      <Button title='Test' onPress={handleSpeak} />
      <StatusBar style="auto" />
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
}

@AhmetAI Not sure if it will help but you can checkout:- Link

In case it did not work try this after installing the library use react-native link, then stop bundler if run separately and start the app with react-native run-android

I tried configuring the project with react native and it works but not with expo.

[shubhambathe1]

I don’t see any support mentioned for React Native Expo in the library documentation, so I think the library might be supported only for React Native CLI as of now. The author of the library might be the right person to answer your query. Please tag him.

Yes this library doesn't seem to support Expo. I need to use Expo's own library, Speech.
