Usages

To start, import the dependency in your code:

import 'package:text_to_speech/text_to_speech.dart';  

Then, create instance of TextToSpeech class:

TextToSpeech tts = TextToSpeech();  

Speak

String text = "Hello, Good Morning!";  
tts.speak(text);  

Set Volume

Volume range: 0-1 where 0 is silence, and 1 is the maximum volume (the default behavior).

double volume = 1.0;  
tts.setVolume(volume);  

Set Rate

Rate range: 0-2.
1.0 is the normal and default speech rate. Lower values slow down the speech (0.5 is half the normal speech rate). Greater values accelerate it (2.0 is twice the normal speech rate).

double rate = 1.0;  
tts.setRate(rate);  

Set Pitch

Pitch range: 0-2.
1.0 is the normal pitch, lower values lower the tone of the synthesized voice, greater values increase it.

double pitch = 1.0;  
tts.setPitch(pitch);  

Set Language

Accepting locale tag name of specific language, e.g. 'en-US'. You can retrieve list of supported language using getLanguage function.

String language = 'en-US';  
tts.setLanguage(language);  

Get Languages

Provide list of supported language codes in locale tag name format, e.g. 'en-US'. You can get display name for specific language code

String language = 'en-US';  
tts.setLanguage(language);  

Get Voice

We can get all available voices or get voices of specific language. This function will returns particular voice name.

List<String> voices = await tts.getVoices();  
  
String language = 'en-US';  
List<String> voices = await tts.getVoiceByLang(language);
