Example:

English: 

tts.speak("Welcome rubin", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);

It speaks correctly English in US Voice.

Hindi:

for (Voice voice: voices) {
   Log.v(TAG, voice.getName());
   if (voice.getName().equals("hi-in-x-cfn#female_2-local")) {
      tts.setVoice(new Voice(voice.getName(),
   }
}
tts.speak("स्वागत हे rubin", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, null);

It says the hindi text and english name in hindi voice.

Set<Voice> voiceList = tts.getVoices();
     for (Voice voice : voiceList) {
         Log.v(TAG, "Voice: " + voice.getName());
         if (voice.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ta"))
            {
               Log.v(TAG, "Voice available: " + voice.getName());
               tts.setVoice(voice);
            }
     }

Am getting tamil voice in this list(voiceList) but it is showing not-installed.

It speaks the tamil word in English slang. How to set Tamil Voice and make it speak like Tamil voice??

  • Have you tried checking `voice.getLocale()` for Tamil Locale in your loop? – brandall Jan 30 '18 at 19:43
  • ya.. i tired. but it's not speaking in tamil slang. – Thamim Jan 31 '18 at 05:51
  • Log the output of `voice.getLocale().toString()` so you can see all available voices for the engine. You are using `voice.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("ta")` - You show in your code that you know `getName()` provides a structure like "hi-in-x-cfn#female_2-local" so how will it ever match "ta" – brandall Jan 31 '18 at 10:30
  • TTS Demo: Voice: ta TTS Demo: Voice Locale: ta TTS Demo: Voice Locale Language: ta These are the logs.. Locale and language all are returning as "ta" – Thamim Jan 31 '18 at 10:50
  • are you sure that Tamil is actually supported for tts? I've not seen it in the list. – Clémentine Jun 26 '18 at 14:13
  • Originally tamil not supported in TTS. but when u give tamil text , it will speak in english slang. – Thamim Jul 10 '18 at 08:50
  • Any updates on this thread? I am also trying to get TTS for tamil. isLocaleAvailable is returning available but the device isn't speaking. – Varun A M Jul 23 '19 at 10:41
  • @VarunAM No.. We left tamil and proceeded with hindi and english at that time. – Thamim Jul 30 '19 at 10:11
