[Request] Please make it run on Android

[evadecvs]

Thank you very much for making the program that I was looking for for a long time, but I'm having trouble running it on Android, please make a version so that it can be compiled into one so that there are no separate library files and it's easy to use on many devices, especially Android

I won't have time to get this working, but if someone else is interested they will need to get piper-phonemize compiled for Android. This will involve compiling an espeak-ng fork and building the onnxruntime for Android.

But only with this can run it in android studio?

Please have a look at #257

There are pre-built APKs containing piper models. You can install and run them on your phone for TTS without
Internet connection.

Would it be possible to have piper models be selected as the system default TTS voice on Android phones?

I am afraid you cannot do that with sherpa-onnx, though sherpa-onnx provides kotlin APIs for running TTS locally without Internet connecton.

EDITED: Please see the comment below.

Shouldn't this be possible now with https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/tts/apk-engine.html from https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx ?

It is! I've happily used it as an android with TTS for months.

For anyone not sure where to start, just install the "piper-en_GB-cori-medium.apk" from https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/tts/apk-engine.html, and select it as your TTS engine
