1.6 Text to Speech API Demo

[riley]

Hello all.

Since google the other day released information on exactly how to use the new Text to Speech API (TTS) Ive cooked up a little application that I made in about 10 mins which lets us all have a little play.

You are presented with a few default options however what you will want to do is enter a custom string into the text field and hit "Speak to me" and the phone says it back to you.

So far i'm quite impressed how accurate the TTS API often is.

IMPORTANT: Currently only users of Cyanogen 1.6 Mod will be able to use this, as, the 1.6 update is required. As soon as google release the 1.6 update officially to all phones anyone can use it.

So, if you look on the market and can't see the app its because you aint running 1.6!

To find it search for me, "Thomas Riley".

If you can any ideas or find any bugs please email me via the email address in the market.

Thanks all!
