Playback on input

[carl-der-grosse]

Hi,
with activated "playback on input" option it plays immediatley each letter i entered. And after finishing the word with an additonal space it speaks the hole word.
I would prefer the behaviour of only speaking the hole word instead of each letter seperatley.
Best, Carl

Hi Carl, Thank you for opening this issue. You're right, it doesn't always make sense to read each new character while in playback-on-input mode. I think there are times when this behaviour is useful, however. I'll add an option in the next version for only reading new words in playback-on-input mode. Best, Dane Finlay

Hi! Any progress on this feature? It would be super useful.
Any way I can help in implementing it? @drmfinlay maybe you can point me to the relevant area in the code?

Hello @nyancow,

No, I've not made much progress on TTS Util feature requests lately.

This feature is not difficult to add though. If you would like to help implement it, I can tell you that most of the necessary changes will be to the InputTextReader.kt source file. The abstract class in that file needs a mechanism to disable "rule one" in onTextChanged().

Thanks for the quick response @drmfinlay. The changes you mentioned are exactly what I needed, I am now using a patched version of the app that plays back only after a space is entered. Hopefully I will find the time soon to add an additional checkbox to the settings to toggle the option. I'll create a PR if and when I get to it.
Thank you for an awesome app.

Actually, my previous comment is only partially true @drmfinlay. It works as expected on Android 13, but for some reason on Android 12 I am still getting letter-by-letter speech playback before pressing space. Any idea what may be missing?
