Android Question Text to Speech from a text file

[TonyVerberne]

I wish to add TTS to an app I have built. I wish to read the text from a text file. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can do this? Erel's example uses an EditText view that requires the user to input text which works well but does suit my app.

xou can use a hidden editfield, fill the text from the file in the hidden edit and then run the tts engine with this text.

You can read the text with:

Dim s As String = File.ReadString(File.DirAssets, "yourfile")
TTS.Speak(s, False)
