TTS Extended (on 1.6)

GrumPy

Hi guys, need to install this on my x10 for an app I'm messing about with.

It is no longer on the marketplace. I eventually found an app called "TTS Service Extended" which I installed (I thought this might be it).

Now apps requiring Text to Speech no longer ask for it to be installed, where beforehand they did (Google translate, talk to me) but when I go into settings/speech synthesis "Install voice data" is greyed out.





Any help would be great!

fgdfgdgsgds, is that one just for later versions of Android probably?

If you remember the version number that worked previously, you can find it in the old files maybe:

Wow, thanks didnt notice that. This hoever still didn't work.

I even removed all previous versions, the app in question, and rooted my phone today. Then tried install tts extended from settings which worked for a change!

But app still dies Must be my code. Still convinced the tts extended thingy isn't working properly on 1.6? Dunno how to rule it out!


Thanks for the links though.

Installed a number of apps from the marketplace that need tts. They all crash and give an error. So it's definately something up with the OS and tts just not installing correctly. It's incredibly frustrating no text to speech functionality works!!

Maybe SE's long overdue update to Android 2.1 due by the end of the week will solve this problem.
