# 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. Eclipse
|
|
4. Android Developer Tools (ADT) for Eclipse
|
|
5. wxWidgets 2.8 (for espeakedit when building `android/res/raw/espeakdata.zip`)
|
|
|
|
## Fetching the Sources
|
|
|
|
The Android port uses the `ucd-tools` submodule. You can fetch this by running:
|
|
|
|
$ git submodule init
|
|
$ git submodule update
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
3. Open Eclipse.
|
|
4. Create a new workspace.
|
|
5. Import the espeak folder as an exising Android project.
|
|
6. Build the espeak apk within Eclipse.
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
The generated `eSpeakActivity.apk` can be installed like any other apk build
|
|
via eclipse, such as by using the `Run` menu option.
|
|
|
|
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.
