Android Question TTS for Hebrew

[prokli]

Does anybody know which regional setting I have to use to run TTS for hebrew?
Something like .."il"
Refer to:

listing & selecting tts voices

hi, I would like to be able to select voice to be used for tts based on the ones I have currently installed. Is there a way to list them within the tts library? Thanks.

Try installing this and setting it as your TTS engine in android settings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intu.hebrewtts&hl=en_US&gl=US

Thanks JamieJ98!
I will install this Google Playstore engine on my device and find out how to run a local TTS engine programmatically.
The results will be documented here

Pretty sure you cant set the TTS engine programmatically it has to be done manually in googles tts settings.

@Jamie: Yes You are right! But after setting this engin as default, TTS works pretty good.
Strings provided to the engine must keep real hebrew letters (like "יום טוב")
