## 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.
