| 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 | |||
| ## Building | |||
| 1. Build the `libttsespeak.so` file by running: | |||
| $ ndk-build | |||
| 2. Open Eclipse. | |||
| 3. Create a new workspace. | |||
| 4. Import the espeak folder as an exising Android project. | |||
| 5. 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 download the `espeak-data.zip` file. 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. | |||
