Feature request: Choose TTS language within Librera #534

Open plodocus opened 4 years ago

plodocus commented 4 years ago

Current behaviour: TTS engine and respective language are set system-wide in Android settings.

Desired behaviour: Select language and possibly TTS engine on a per-book basis (for example see these settings in Android app eReader Prestigio).

My phone is in German (which thus is its default TTS language) but if I read English books I'd like to use the English TTS engine without modifying system settings.

Desired behavior:

Please allow user to choose among different voices within each book like either in @Voice reader or in Evie.

It solves the confusion when one is listening to more than one book and avoid default high-pitched minotonous female voice.

BTW, the way described at http://librera.mobi/wiki/faq/installation-and-configuration-of-tts/ fails to change TTS voice, fyi.

Hi again @foobnix,

It would be nice to have voice, language and TTS engine selection (particularly the first two) option available within the app like in this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pro.narradordevoz.com

Cheers,
