TextToSpeech Plugin Additional Language Support

Development Platform & Builds

Hello! I see that the Accessibility page notes for the TextToSpeech Plugin that

| Currently, the TTS plugin only supports English across all platforms. We plan to support additional languages in the future.

I was wondering if there’s an estimated roadmap for this support or if there are other recommended solutions if I’m looking to explore this prior to estimated delivery?

Hi,

We don’t currently have any feature work for the TTS plugin on the schedule, so the only changes going in at the moment are bug fixes as they arise. The current implementation is rather barebones, so I’d recommend either using that as a starting point and adding the extra functionality that you need or looking for a third party plugin. I know there are a few more robust TTS solutions on Fab (such as this one), though I can’t personally speak to their quality so it may be worth reaching out to the developer to see if they can set up an evaluation.

Best,

Cody
