Set default TTS settings and add build script for Windows
This PR sets the default TTS language to en-US and the default TTS voice to en-us-x-tpc-network for personal use. The network voice provides better quality than the offline voice. It also adds a new script for building the release on Windows.
Changes made:
- Set default TTS language to en-US
- Set default TTS voice to en-us-x-tpc-network
- Add buildReleaseWin script for Windows users
The changes to the TTS settings were made for personal use, as the network voice provides better quality than the offline voice. The new buildReleaseWin script allows Windows users to easily build the release version of the app.
of course I'm aware of that, in fact, I can read Arabic and French my self but as I mentioned in the PR, I made these changes for my own selfish personal needs. 😄
In all seriousness, I had never developed anything for mobile or Android before. It took me two days just to figure out how to build the project. But it was worth it for me because the neural network voices are much better. In fact, the offline voice was so irritating that I couldn't stand to listen to it.
I decided to share this in case someone else needed it. And if there's anyone who can add a setting to choose the language and voices, that would be great.
I also tried to highlight the sentence being read and make the scroll follow the current sentence, but I wasn't able to do that.
