Does TextToSpeech API in android need internet connection to work?

I am want to use TextToSpeech API in android, does the application need internet connection to convert the text to speech ??

Solution

  • You have to install TTS data. Users are prompted to install it if they don't have it. Until you have the data the speech cannot occur and the device needs an Internet connection to download and install the data.
