Revision history [back]

I noticed that Android apps like OsmAnd or AnyMemo do not produce the expected sound. They are supposed to read out some text (street names, words in the vocabulary...).

I made sure that this is not the same problem as described here. Sound in Android does work.

So I am came to the conclusion that Alien Dalvik comes without a text-to-speech engine. I tried to install eSpeak TTS (downloaded in the browser from F-Droid, it does not appear in the F-Droid app). But eSpeak TTS refuses to "set as your default text-to-speech engine" with this error: Unsupported action That action is not currently supported

Has anybody got TTS working in Android apps? Which engine did you use, from where did you install it and how did you activate it?
