MINI PROJECT – TEXT TO SPEECH CONVERSION
AIM:
To implement text-to-speech (TTS) conversion in an Android application, using java in Android studio
Text To Speech API.
STEPS:
Step 1: Create a New Project
Step 2: Working with activity_main.xml file
Go to the app -> res -> layout -> activity_main.xml section and set the layout for the app. In this file
add an Edit Text to input the text from the user, a Button, so whenever the user clicks on the Button
then it’s converted to speech and a Text View to display.
Step 3: Working with [Link] file
Go to the app -> java -> [Link] (Package Name) -> [Link] section. Now join the
Button and Edit text to Java code and comments are added inside code to understand the code
easily.
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Overview:
You are tasked with developing an Android application that converts text input into speech
output. The application should utilize the Text-to-Speech (TTS) functionality available in
Android devices to provide a seamless and intuitive user experience.
Features to Implement:
Text Input: The application should allow users to input text through a user interface
component, such as an EditText view.
Text-to-Speech Conversion: Upon user input, the application should convert the entered
text into speech using the Text-to-Speech engine available on the device.
Playback Controls: Users should have basic playback controls, such as play, pause, stop, and
adjust volume, to control the speech output.
Language Support: The application should support multiple languages for text-to-speech
conversion. Users should be able to select the desired language from a list of available
options.
Pitch and Speed Adjustment: Provide options for users to adjust the pitch and speed of the
speech output according to their preferences.
Error Handling: Implement robust error handling to manage scenarios such as initialization
failures, unsupported languages, or errors during speech playback.
Accessibility: Ensure that the application adheres to accessibility standards, making it usable
by individuals with disabilities, including support for screen readers and alternative input
methods.
Additional Requirements:
User Interface Design: Design a user-friendly interface that facilitates easy text input and
provides intuitive playback controls.
Performance Optimization: Optimize the application's performance to ensure smooth text-
to-speech conversion and playback, even on low-end devices.
Testing and Debugging: Thoroughly test the application on various Android devices and
screen sizes to identify and resolve any issues. Implement logging and debugging tools to
facilitate troubleshooting during development.
Documentation: Provide clear documentation, including user guides and code comments, to
assist users and developers in understanding the application's functionality and
implementation details.
IMPLEMENTATION:
MAIN XML CODE:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="[Link]
xmlns:app="[Link]
xmlns:tools="[Link]
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_margin="30dp"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<!--To add text in the app-->
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/Text"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:hint="Enter Any Sentence"
android:gravity="center"
android:textSize="16dp"/>
<!--when you press this button it will
convert text into speech-->
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/btnText"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Click Here"
android:layout_gravity="center"/>
<!--To display the name of GeeksForGeeks -->
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="70dp"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:text="GEEKSFORGEEKS"
android:textColor="@android:color/holo_green_dark"
android:textSize="36sp" />
</LinearLayout>
JAVA CODE:
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
import [Link];
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText Text;
Button btnText;
TextToSpeech textToSpeech;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
[Link](savedInstanceState);
setContentView([Link].activity_main);
Text = findViewById([Link]);
btnText = findViewById([Link]);
// create an object textToSpeech and adding features into it
textToSpeech = new TextToSpeech(getApplicationContext(), new
[Link]() {
@Override
public void onInit(int i) {
// if No error is found then only it will run
if(i!=[Link]){
// To Choose language of speech
[Link]([Link]);
});
// Adding OnClickListener
[Link](new [Link]() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
[Link]([Link]().toString(),TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH,null);
}
});
}
}
OUTPUT:
RESULT:
Hence an application with text to speech conversion executed successfully.
