TTS interface

[tmighty]

Hello!
I have also asked in the Android newsgroup but for some strange reason I did not get a reply at all.
Maybe somebody in here can help...
I know it is not b4a related, rather to Eclipse and Android SDK, but anyway...

I wanted to create a Text-To-Speech engine that applications can then
use to synthesize a text.
I was able to find examples on how to USE one, but not have to CREATE
one by myself.
I have already made one for another platform (Windows), but I have no
idea yet where to start for Android.
In other words: I just don't find a documentation for speech engine
vendors.

If anybody could give me a push into the right direction, I would be
very happy.

Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text to Speech (TTS) SDK API | iSpeech


Custom Voices

Custom Voices may be enabled for your account.
They can be found in the developer portal ->
api key properties -> custom voices.

You can use them by setting voice to the custom alias.

iSpeech is only for people who want to use existing TTS, not for developers who want to create their own TTS.

So you are looking for something like this?

Nope

I am looking for a Android SDK document where the interface requirements are started and perhaps some example code.
