When the user clicks Exit, we want to both display message box and speak the message, as seen here on an Android phone: We used an action group for the Exit button. We assigned Text to Speech action directly to the actions for the Speak button, but it can also be used in an action group.
This single action defined in the MobileTogether Actions dialog works regardless whether the app runs on an Android, iOS, or Windows phone, on a Windows 10 computer, or even in a Web browser on another device. The action assigned to the Speak button causes the built-in mobile device text-to-speech engine to speak the text. Text collected in the input field is stored in an element in the app data tree. The input field property for multiple lines is selected, and the box resizes automatically to fit the pasted text. In the screenshot below, an iPhone user deleted the default text, copied from the Altova Web site, and pasted into the input field: Text in an app can come from many different sources, including the mobile device copy/paste clipboard.

Or, text in message boxes of other information blocks can also be spoken by the mobile device. Speech can be fully integrated with text anywhere it appears in an app. Sign up today for a free RapidAPI account to begin testing and using the APIs in this collection (and many more!)ĭo you agree with our list of Speech To Text APIs?
