HTC Desire Z :: Way To Set Text To Speech Engine For Notification Sounds?

Nov 29, 2010

I would like to set up custom notification sounds for the various apps (email, message, FB, etc.). I would prefer that instead of using the various cute sound effects that come with the phone, I want to have a voice that says, "new email" or "new message" instead of the various beeps and chimes. Ideally, I would like to use the text to speech engine that comes with the phone to do this like what the Navigation app. How can I set up the notifications to activate the text to speech engine to say a certain phrase? If that is not possible, how can I activate the text to speech engine to say a phrase and then save the output to a sound file which I can then select as the notification for those various apps?

General :: Broken Text-to-speech Engine?

Jan 3, 2013

Whenever I try to access my text-to-speech settings, I always get the error: "The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Not sure how to fix this. I've been trying to use utter! and Assistant, but neither give me voice feedback, and utter! tells me that the text-to-speech engine initialization failed. how to fix and/or rebuild the tts engine? I don't really want to do a factory reset or reinstall my ROM. Also, please note that the ROM is not the problem, I've already researched this. Also note that I have Google Voice and Voice Search both installed, and both work just fine. I can input commands vocally, but the text-to-speech issue does not funcion.

Android :: String Input For Speech Engine

Jan 7, 2010

It seems to me that the method "speak" of class TextToSpeech only works in method onInit or on Utterance Completed. However, onInit and onUtteranceCompleted don't have any parameter for passing strings. In the following code, I tried to define a global string arraylist outside the methods and used the arraylist for string input.For some reason , it didn't work out.But the engine did speak "did you sleep well". public class TTS extends Activity implements OnInitListener,OnUtteranceCompletedListener,Runnable ArrayList<String> content=new ArrayList<String>();
int MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE=50;
private TextToSpeech mTts;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
content.add("test");
content.add("another test");
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.splash);
Intent checkIntent = new Intent();
checkIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA);
startActivityForResult(checkIntent, MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE);
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE) {
if (resultCode == TextToSpeech.Engine.CHECK_VOICE_DATA_PASS) {
// success, create the TTS instance
mTts = new TextToSpeech(this,this);
} else { // missing data, install it
Intent installIntent = new Intent();
installIntent.setAction(
TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_INSTALL_TTS_DATA);
startActivity(installIntent);
} public void onInit(int status){
if(status==TextToSpeech.SUCCESS){
mTts.setLanguage(Locale.US);
mTts.setOnUtteranceCompletedListener(this);
String myText1 = "Did you sleep well?";
mTts.speak(myText1, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);

HTC Eris :: No Text Notification Sounds In Nonsensikal V13.7?

Nov 26, 2010

I just flashed Nonsensikal v13.7 last night and since I am not getting any text message notification sounds. If I happen to get a notification sound, it is the default notification sound I set for my emails, et cetera. I use Handcent and have from the beginning. I set, reset, and reset my Handcent notification sound to be "pixie dust" but like I said, I'm not getting any notification sounds for my texts. Is anyone else having this issue on Nonsensikal? I didn't have this issue with version 12.5. Any advice, tips, or suggestions would be helpful.

HTC Hero :: Cannot Get Text Message Notification Sounds To Work

Jan 19, 2010

I absolutely cannot get text message notification sounds to work. At all. It stays on the stock sound. I can change it to any of the preloaded stock sounds and click ok but when I get a text it still plays the stock sound. I also tried using custom and that didnt work either. I have searched and searched and found nothing. And I am using the proper folder structure on the sd card for the customs. Does anyone have any ideas at all? Im getting very frustrated.

HTC Droid Eris : Way To Change Text Message Notification Sounds?

Feb 16, 2010

Sorry if this has been asked... I've searched and so far nothing. I just got my new Droid Eris. So far I love it, except for my text message sounds. My ringtone works as my new one. My notification sound plays my preference (Clapton's Layla) when I have an email and such, however, when I get a text message, it still plays the default sound. Is there somewhere you change this other than notification sounds?

HTC Desire :: Ringtones And Notification Sounds

Sep 21, 2010

Does anyone know where I could download the ringtones and notifications that are pre-installed on the HTC Desire? I have somehow managed to delete them off mine. I honestly don't know exactly how or when it was that I managed to do it, but I assume it must have been during the last couple of days when it was connected to my PC - I must have just deleted a folder by mistake. Schoolboy stuff really! If there is no way of getting the original HTC sounds back, does anyone know of a free/non-subscription service where I could source some alternatives? I just want a standard "ring ring" & "beep" rather than some sort of crazy frog shenanigans.

HTC Desire :: Can't Select Normal Ringtones For Notification Sounds

Sep 4, 2010

so I was clearing up some room for a new app and went through managing apps and deleting some and clearing some caches. And now, I can't select any of the normal ringtones on the phone for my notification sounds. When I go Personalize > Default ringtone > select ringtone. It comes up saying 'Phone Ringtone' With options of OK and Cancel. It gives me no choice of any of the old normal tones the phone had before....what the hell is going on. Same for text noises btw.

General :: Text To Speech On Selected Text?

Sep 7, 2013

I wonder if there is ability to replicate this feature from iOS :

In iOS you can turn on Accessibility function that add the "Speak" button to the "selection menu". And if you click, it would turn on Text To Speech engine and read selected text. Can I do the same thing in Android ?

PS: I assume that regular app could not modify "copy, paste, cut menu" so I probably need custom ROM. (I'm particularly interested Nexus 7 2013 solution, but I assume that solution should be universal because it is just modification to the "Selection menu" and add button)

HTC Desire :: Text Notification Plays MP3 From Music Library

That in itself isn't so bad but what winds me up more than anything is that I have to interact with the phone to stop the tune from playing. Anyone got any ideas as to what it could be.
