# Android Port of eSpeak Text-to-Speech
|
|
|
|
This branch contains the files needed to build espeak on the android platform.
|
|
It is derived from the eyes-free project.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisits
|
|
|
|
To build eSpeak for Android, you need to have the following installed and
|
|
configured correctly:
|
|
|
|
1. Android SDK
|
|
2. Android NDK
|
|
3. wxWidgets 2.8 (for espeakedit when building `android/res/raw/espeakdata.zip`)
|
|
|
|
If you are building with Eclipse, you will also need:
|
|
|
|
1. Eclipse
|
|
2. Android Developer Tools (ADT) for Eclipse
|
|
|
|
If you are building on the command line, you will also need:
|
|
|
|
1. ant (e.g. run `sudo apt-get install ant` on a Debian-based distribution)
|
|
|
|
## Fetching the Sources
|
|
|
|
The Android port uses the `ucd-tools` submodule. You can fetch this by running:
|
|
|
|
$ git submodule init
|
|
$ git submodule update
|
|
|
|
## Building eSpeak
|
|
|
|
1. Build the `libttsespeak.so` file by running:
|
|
|
|
$ cd android
|
|
$ ndk-build
|
|
2. Build the `android/res/raw/espeakdata.zip` file by running:
|
|
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh
|
|
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
|
|
$ make android
|
|
|
|
## Building the APK with Eclipse
|
|
|
|
1. Open Eclipse.
|
|
2. Create a new workspace.
|
|
3. Import the espeak folder as an exising Android project.
|
|
4. Build the espeak apk within Eclipse.
|
|
|
|
The generated `eSpeakActivity.apk` can be installed like any other apk build
|
|
via eclipse, such as by using the `Run` menu option.
|
|
|
|
## Building the APK from the Command Line
|
|
|
|
1. Update the project using the Android utility which is part of the SDK:
|
|
|
|
$ cd android
|
|
$ android update project -s -t 1 -p .
|
|
2. Build the package.
|
|
|
|
$ ant release
|
|
|
|
In order to install the built `bin/eSpeakActivity-release-unsigned.apk` APK,
|
|
you need to self-sign the package. You can do this by:
|
|
|
|
1. Creating a certificate, if you do not already have one:
|
|
|
|
$ keytool -genkey -keystore [YOUR_CERTIFICATE] -alias [ALIAS]
|
|
2. Sign the package using your certificate:
|
|
|
|
$ jarsigner -sigalg MD5withRSA -digestalg SHA1 \
|
|
-keystore [YOUR_CERTIFICATE] \
|
|
bin/eSpeakActivity-release-unsigned.apk [ALIAS]
|
|
3. Align the apk using the zipalign tool.
|
|
|
|
$ zipalign 4 bin/eSpeakActivity-release-unsigned.apk \
|
|
bin/eSpeakActivity-release-signed.apk
|
|
|
|
Now, you can install the APK using the `adb` tool:
|
|
|
|
$ adb install -r bin/eSpeakActivity-release-signed.apk
|
|
|
|
## Enabling eSpeak on the Device
|
|
|
|
After running, `eSpeakActivity` will extract the `espeakdata.zip` file into its
|
|
own data directory to set up the available voices.
|
|
|
|
To enable eSpeak, you need to:
|
|
|
|
1. go into the Android `Text-to-Speech settings` UI;
|
|
2. enable `eSpeak TTS` in the `Engines` section;
|
|
3. select `eSpeak TTS` as the default engine;
|
|
4. use the `Listen to an example` option to check if everything is working.
