TTS ERR_UNKNOWN on Android #106

Closed rcpinheiro closed 4 years ago

rcpinheiro commented 4 years ago

Hi! I've made an Android app that uses this plugin and it's been working for more than a year. Suddenly, it stopped working with the error TTS ERR_UNKNOWN. I know if not's a bug in the source code since the last build was 7 months ago and the problem only showed up in the last few days. Anyone else with this problem?

Got the same problem.

It seems the problem is that TTS now is only working for english language. These work:

TTS.speak('test')
TTS.speak({ text: 'test', locale: 'en-US'})

This doesn't: TTS.speak({ text: 'test', locale: 'pt-BR'})

Found a solution after checking the logcat:

10-23 18:39:22.815 4685 5435 E TTS.ControllerWrapper: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/user_de/0/com.google.android.tts/files/superpacks/pt-pt/pt-pt-x-jfb-r6/pipeline (No such file or directory)

This means the language dictionary isn't installed. What I did to fix:

  1. go to Google Text-to Speech in Settings
  2. Install Voice Data
  3. delete and download again the required language
  4. test voices (important!). In my case there are 4 voices but only two work , the other give a "Failed synthesizing voice" error.
