tts-util-app is a keyboard that will be cool

[Pantyhose-X]

hello Danesprite I would like to have tts-util-app Function keyboard

Applied to language learning. Pronunciation correction Learning a foreign language. Example Russian German I don't know how to speak, TTS taught me to speak Text-to-Speech Always speak typed keys speak Phonetic letters are spoken when long pressing on keyboard keys and navigating by character.

example， l only want to talk when you press keys on the keyboard, not to read the screen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.marvin.talkback

Hello @Pantyhose-X,

Thank you for opening this issue.

The feature you mention and provide demo videos for is indeed quite a useful one. I can certainly see its value as a language studies aid. However, re- implementing it in TTS Util may be rather difficult and, since it is already present in talkback, counter-productive.

If I may ask, since this feature is already available to you in talkback and Word, what use have you for it in my application?

For what it's worth, character-by-character reading may already be achieved in TTS Util by delimiting the input characters with spaces or newlines. I would not be against adding a more convenient spelling mode for this in the application settings. I think this would be a separate issue, however, since reading the whole input field is not what you have in mind.

Kind regards, Dane Finlay

hello @Danesprite talkback He reads all your actions aloud. talkback is a screen reader. We only need to read the keyboard out loud and not anything else aloud. talkback and NVDA cannot do that.

Oh, I see what you mean. Well, it looks like this won't be too difficult to implement after all. The application need only use a TextWatcher implementation for its input fields to read new text on key presses.

I might have this implemented in the next version (3.1.0). It may not be as smooth as the screen reader solutions, (I have not the resources of Google,) but it will be closer to what you have in mind.

Hello @Pantyhose-X,

I thought I would let you know that I have implemented the playback-on- input feature.

The next version of TTS Util will be released in the next few days. This feature (disabled by default) will be available in that version via the option in the settings screen.

This feature is now available in TTS Util version 4.0.0. See the releases page. The new version will be available on the Google Play and F-Droid stores soon.

Sorry this took me longer than a few days, @Pantyhose-X.

@Danesprite TTS can't method read aloud the input of other applications 🙁 It is recommended to make IME keyboard software, TTS only needs to read aloud the keyboard input

Hello @Pantyhose-X,

I thought I had made this point clear above; the feature only works in TTS Util input fields, not in all input fields in general. I am not willing to expose this function with a custom IME; it would be a lot of work and is simply not a good fit for my application.

I suggest you pursue the florisboard issue you opened on this subject last year (florisboard/florisboard#391) if the new TTS Util playback- on-input feature is really not what you need.
