Adding a new language to the existing TTS engine in android, May I modify the existing engine without starting from scratch? since the speech synthesis framework is somewhat done, maybe I can implement a TTS for my language according to that instead taking a different approach.
Need suggestions.
Thanks
i think you guys got my question wrong. i wanted to build a TTS for a language where there does not exist a TTS using the default TTS engine on android.
It seems it's not that simple. At the time i asked this question i did not have a clear idea on Speech Synthesis. It requires quit alot of work and research to do. The easiest method to build a TTS for a new language was to use the "eSpeak" speech synthesizer. The implementation is very simple and it is ported to android by the eyes-free project.
