Just a heads-up to anyone using this library for Android and using a locale such as cmn-Hans-CN & cmn-Hant-TW. A recent update to the Speech Recognition & Synthesis Play store listing (com.google.android.tts) which powers Android 13+ speech recognition no longer works for some Chinese locales and falls back to the device default locale (e.g. en-US).
Just a heads-up to anyone using this library for Android and using a locale such as
cmn-Hans-CN
&cmn-Hant-TW
. A recent update to the Speech Recognition & Synthesis Play store listing (com.google.android.tts
) which powers Android 13+ speech recognition no longer works for some Chinese locales and falls back to the device default locale (e.g. en-US).Upstream tracking issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/368353801
Current workaround: Change the locale to
zh-CN
, however on-device recognition is still affected.
