Android Instructions

Make sure to add the following to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<queries>
  <intent>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.TTS_SERVICE" />
  </intent>
</queries>

iOS Instructions

The user must have at least one "Enhanced" or "Premium" voice installed. Premium is recommended on iOS 16+ as they are the most natural sounding voices. By default, they may not be installed, so you might want to prompt the user to install one.

If the device is on mute, the speech will not be audible.

Usage

import { invoke } from "@tauri-apps/api/core";

invoke("plugin:tts|speak", { text: "Hello, world!" });
