Intro - Read This First

  • Text to Speech is a feature of Android platform that can be used to “read” the words and make the app talking, or more in detail to synthesize text. This post covers how to implement TTS in Android and how to control some interesting properties of the speech engine.
  • A small speech control panel pops up while the text is read aloud. The control panel will condense into a small right arrow button on the left side of the screen. If you do nothing, the arrow.

Yoda who? Our favourite little green friend from the Star Wars franchise, first seen in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, making a return in its sequel Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi. Learn how to talk like Yoda - just type or paste in a bunch of text and use the 'Convert to Yoda-Speak' button.

Try it with jokes, emails, song lyrics, card messages, whatever!

Initial development based on this fine essay on the rules of 'Yodish': Yodish Analysis!

Text To Speech Yoda

  • Please don't just try 'Hello.' Nothing will change. Yoda won't answer back, he'll just repeat. It's not the same thing as a conversation.
  • In the Star Wars movies, Yoda speaks short sentences for a reason. If the result is total garbage, that could be why!
  • Make sure you use proper english grammar and punctuation, our little green friend can't read your mind. 'Don't', instead of 'Dont', and so on.
  • The exception is this: You should use extra punctuation if a sentence contains more than one clause, often split with 'and', 'or', etc. For example: 'Put your hands up and step away from the turnip.' should be 'Put your hands up, and step away from the turnip.' or 'Put your hands up. Step away from the turnip.'
  • If using commas and full stops in currencies or initialisms, do not use spaces.
  • The use of parenthesis is not yet recommended, though I will work on them.
  • If there are issues and a sentence is not yoda-fied as you think it should, it could also be because I haven't yet included all the words I need to in the search formulas. If I spot a dodgy result, I'll get around to working on it. :)
