Remarks

Synthesizes speech from text for immediate playback or to create a sound file.

A TextToSpeech instance can only be used to synthesize text once it has completed its initialization. Implement the TextToSpeech.OnInitListener to be notified of the completion of the initialization.<br> When you are done using the TextToSpeech instance, call the #shutdown() method to release the native resources used by the TextToSpeech engine.

Apps targeting Android 11 that use text-to-speech should declare TextToSpeech.Engine#INTENT_ACTION_TTS_SERVICE in the queries elements of their manifest:

&lt;queries&gt;
              ...
             &lt;intent&gt;
                 &lt;action android:name="android.intent.action.TTS_SERVICE" /&gt;
             &lt;/intent&gt;
            &lt;/queries&gt;
