Android : Text To Speech Converter

In this tutorial we will create Text To Speech Converter.

1. Create New Android Application Project. Name it as Text To Speech Converter.

2. Open Your activity_main.xml file.
3. Replace your activity_main.xml code with below code.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:layout_width="match_parent"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"

    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"

    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <TextView

        android:id="@+id/textView1"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

        android:text="Enter Text Below"

        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"

        android:textStyle="bold"

        android:typeface="monospace" />

    <EditText

        android:id="@+id/EditText1"

        android:layout_width="297dp"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

        android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"

        android:ems="10"

        android:typeface="monospace" >

        <requestFocus />

    </EditText>

    <Button

        android:id="@+id/button1"

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"

        android:layout_below="@+id/EditText1"

        android:scrollHorizontally="false"

        android:text="Click Here To Speek" />

</RelativeLayout>

4 . Add Below Code To your MainActivity.java

MainActivity.java

package arshad.texttospeechconverter;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.net.Uri;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech;

import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.OnInitListener;

import android.view.View;

import android.widget.Button;

import android.widget.EditText;

import android.widget.Toast;

import android.app.Activity;

import android.content.Context;

import android.content.Intent;

import android.view.View.OnClickListener;

public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnInitListener {

      

private int MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE = 0;

      

       private TextToSpeech tts;

      

       private EditText inputText;

       private Button speakButton;

      

       final Context context = this;

       @Override

       protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

             

              super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

       setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

   inputText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText1);

    speakButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

   

   

  

    speakButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {                

              public void onClick(View v) {

                     String text = inputText.getText().toString();

                     if (text!=null && text.length()>0) {

                           Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Saying: " + text, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                           tts.speak(text, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);

      

                     }

              }

       });

   

   

   

      

       Intent intent = getIntent();

    String action = intent.getAction();

    String type = intent.getType();

   

    Intent checkIntent = new Intent();

              checkIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA);

              startActivityForResult(checkIntent, MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE);

             

             

             

       }

       protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

              if (requestCode == MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE) {

                     if (resultCode == TextToSpeech.Engine.CHECK_VOICE_DATA_PASS) {

                           // success, create the TTS instance

                           tts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);

                     }

                     else {

                           // missing data, install it

                           Intent installIntent = new Intent();

                           installIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_INSTALL_TTS_DATA);

                           startActivity(installIntent);

                     }

              }

       }

      

        

      

      

       @Override

       public void onInit(int status ) {

             

             

              if (status == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {

                     Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,

                                  "Text-To-Speech engine is initialized", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                    

                    

                     }

              else if (status == TextToSpeech.ERROR) {

                     Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,

                                  "Error occurred while initializing Text-To-Speech engine", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

              }

       }

             

             

       }
