Use TalkBack for TTS events on Android

Open CoBC opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Add option to use TalkBack instead of native Android TTS. Also add an option to choose if message should interrupt the previous one or not.

Originally posted by CoBC July 31, 2022 Hi, currently, Android only support TTS via the TTS API. A method (announceForAccessibility, introduced in API level 16) can allow usage of accessibility service like TalkBack to announce TTS events. Using TalkBack to announce TTS events can allow users to easily interrupt the notification if necessary. I propose to add an option to allow users to use TalkBack instead of native TTS API, so the behavior will be the same as using Tolk on Windows for example. What Android users think of that? @bear101 Do you also have any point of view of that?
