Is it possible to run Text to Speech API on android wear devices? I am trying to do that but it is not working.
The watch will display list of cards containing words and and there will be a button when clicked the user can hear the word in the current card.
I got it working on a mobile phone but my objective is to make it work on android watch.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
If you wanna to use Voice commands for your wearable device you can use this implementation:
private static final int SPEECH_REQUEST_CODE = 0;
// Create an intent that can start the Speech Recognizer activity
private void displaySpeechRecognizer() {
Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
// Start the activity, the intent will be populated with the speech text
startActivityForResult(intent, SPEECH_REQUEST_CODE);
}
// This callback is invoked when the Speech Recognizer returns.
// This is where you process the intent and extract the speech text from the intent.
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
Intent data) {
if (requestCode == SPEECH_REQUEST_CODE && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
List<String> results = data.getStringArrayListExtra(
RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_RESULTS);
String spokenText = results.get(0);
// Do something with spokenText
}
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

Android Wear 2.0 has this built in - under Settings -Accessibility- Text to Speech Output. So if you don't currently have a Huawei or Urbane 2 the main release is rumored in just a few weeks on Feb 9/10th.
