Text to Speech

[Rusty]

Using Media Player, one can determine when the mediaplayer.isplaying and thus determine when the media has completed playing. I am trying to use the Text to speech, but would like to know when the TTS completes saying the text. Is there an event or method to determine when a TTS is playing or has completed playing (or saying) the text?
Thanks in advance.

It's possible with a phone event. : Basic4android - Phone

Thanks! This is what I need, but is there a way to have the S1 service raise an event in the main module so it can be detected when complete?

Yes,

in the module ( Module name TTSModule)

Sub Process_Globals

   Dim TTSFinish as Boolean
   TTSFinish  = False
End Sub

Sub PE_TextToSpeechFinish (Intent As Intent)
   Log("TextToSpeechFinish")
   If IsPaused(Main) = False Then '  call a function in the Main activity
      CallSub(Main, "SpeechIsFinish")
   End If
End Sub

in the main (name Main )

Sub SpeechIsFinish
   ' Do something when PE_TextToSpeechFinish is called

End Sub

Another solution

in the module

Sub PE_TextToSpeechFinish (Intent As Intent)
   Log("TextToSpeechFinish")
   TTSFinish  = True
End Sub

in the main (name Main )

If  TTSModule.TTSFinish  then
   ' do something
End If

Thanks.
I also experimented with moving the TextToSpeechFinish into a sub in the main. There, when the speech is finished, the event raises there. Seems to work well. I appreciate your help. Merci mille fois!
