Hi, I've tried it and OK = True but I still get the same error, I'm obviously missing something but can't find it

java.lang.RuntimeException: Error speaking text.

Please post the full log error events from the right side of the IDE

So I've tried what I want in the TTS ID example and I still get the error

this is the code, hope it makes sense!


and the error

** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
true
main_activity_create (java line: 369)
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error speaking text.

Try moving the tts.speak command to another sub.

I have, just put in inActivity Create to try it on initial load, same error

Hi I think its a delay problem, because I'm trying to speak before the app is fully functional, seems to be something with TTs-ID or TTS because my app is loading very slowly and then I get the error as it tries to speak on loading

I've attached a sample and you'll probably see the delay, obviously when I click button2 the program is loaded so it works but trying adding it tio the create sub and the program hasn't fully loaded, hope I'm making sense

Something seems weird with your use of the OK object.

Try Erel's example AS-IS to see if it works:

Yeah, Erel's example waits for the TTS ready event.

Sorted but don't think I can use it at start up as there is around 6 to 10 seconds delay in actioning TTS Done event but thanks for your help

Follow what Erel did in his example.

Hi John I did and the delay is still prominent, slows the first screen being displayed and the the initial speak command can appear many seconds later

But it is no longer giving you an error right?

That initial delay may always happen because it might take time to initially load in the vocabulary the very first time it speaks. But what if you try to speak " " (a space) at the start of your app to force this delay to happen before you really need to speak something. Then when you try to speak for the second time, it might start speaking much quicker because the vocabulary was already loaded when it said the space.

Yes there aren't any errors and when it eventually loads it works brilliantly, I will try and refocus and see what I can do, again many thanks for all your help and guidance, appreciated, cheers
