Introduction
In today's session I will try to teach you how to add Text-to-speech support in your apps. What are we creating today? We will be creating a portable and light TextToSpeechManager class that will be easy to add to your projects. Ever since I held the public talk at the April Android Developer Meetup on this topic I wanted to do a follow up in a form of a blog. The full code source can be found on my github, feel free to fork it and play around with it. The slides from the presentation can be found here.
Text-To-Speech (TTS) also known as "speech synthesis" which enables your android device to "speak" the text that you give it. It supports a wide range of languages, but not all Android devices have them.
