text to speech via capacitor plugin #28

The voice dropdown is appropriately populated, but did you test that the voice selection takes effect? At least with Firefox on Windows, the voice is not changing |
|
ooo.... ok.... will need to check that.... |

The voice changes now, but I'm getting the strange behavior that the first voice in the list doesn't match the description. On Firefox on Windows, the first selection is Microsoft David, but the voice is actually Microsoft Zira. Picking any other voice on the list (including Zira) sounds as expected, but switching back to David returns the voice to Zira. |
that's odd... I've added a line to set the initial voice... it seems to work on Linux (Chrome and Firefox)... I'll need to check on Windows... |
|
Hmm, I'm going to chalk up that behavior to a weird configuration on my machine; there are a few voices that show up in some voice lists but don't actually work. |

FYI, I had to refactor this a bit (05f3c08) to keep the activity simulator working (that view doesn't have a voice selector, and you put the TTS initialization in the voice selector setup). As you continue with these, make sure you test both index.html and replay_gpx.html. |
for #24
Before building a native app, we need to migrate some functionality from the webview to Capacitor. This allows Capacitor to choose the appropriate technology based on the device.
In this pull request, I've replaced the web-based speechSynthesis API with a Capacitor text-to-speech plugin. I've tested the functionality in Chrome (Linux and Android) and the Android app.
Testing on iPhone is still required.
