Text to Speech Research - Android

[satindar]

Look into text to speech for Android and create a plan to implement it.

I asked Bard:

There are a few ways to add high-quality text to speech to your Android app.

• Use the built-in Text-to-Speech engine. Android comes with a built-in text-to-speech engine that is capable of generating high-quality speech. You can use this engine by calling the TextToSpeech class in your app.
• Use a third-party text-to-speech engine. There are a number of third-party text-to-speech engines available for Android that offer better quality speech than the built-in engine. Some popular third-party engines include:
  • Google Cloud Text-to-Speech
  • Amazon Polly
  • iSpeech
  • Vocalizer
• Use a custom text-to-speech engine. If you need the highest possible quality speech, you can create your own custom text-to-speech engine. This will require some programming expertise, but it will give you complete control over the quality of the speech.

Are there any plans to implement such functionality?

[jacksonh]

Yes we will definitely add it to Android, just a very small team

[micmalti]

That's understandable. Kudos for the work that you've put so far into this project. I'm looking forward to the day that I can ditch Pocket completely for Omnivore.

Looking into this now
