Overview
Flutter_TTS_Improved is a fork of the original Flutter_TTS plugin, enhancing text-to-speech functionality with integrated progress reporting from the Utterance APIs on both Android and iOS. It enables developers to track speech synthesis progress in real time, improving user experience in voice-driven applications. The package maintains compatibility with the original while adding granular feedback for each utterance, such as start, end, and error events. Ideal for interactive voice assistants, audiobooks, or accessibility tools requiring precise timing control.
