I have fixed UWP, however as documented the volume has no impact on Android as there is No API to do it.

I actually got something working now for Android :)

from texttospeechplugin.

Can you help me correct this Android C# syntax? The following has the same problem on android. It plays at full volume even though the volume is set to zero:

        Bundle b = new Bundle();
        b.PutFloat(key: "KEY_PARAM_VOLUME", value: 0);       
        speaker = new TextToSpeech(Android.App.Application.Context, this);               
        speaker.Speak("hello", QueueMode.Flush, b, null);

on Uwp desktop I am not getting any sound although it says IsSupported=true, is there something special need to be done. it was working before with old version of the package. i updated without code change and it works on android but uwp, no sound.
I simply do

await Plugin.TextToSpeech.CrossTextToSpeech.Current.Speak(textToSpeech, crossLocale: Helpers.Settings.CurrentLocale, cancelToken: ct);

@EmilAlipiev good one. fixed it now in 3.2.1

from texttospeechplugin.

kudos ... the following is working on windows phone and android now:

   await CrossTextToSpeech.Current.Speak(text:s, volume: 0.2f);

You are changing the master volume of the phone, and not restoring it to what it was prior to the call. I cannot use the plugin as it stands.

from texttospeechplugin.

I am setting the Music volume, not the phone volume: am.GetStreamMaxVolume(Stream.Music);

Would also appreciate if you wrote literally anything constructive here at all and not attempt to write in a way that puts down contributors.

What is your "work around" to setting audio and what is the proposed way that you would like for it to work. Android works very different then iOS/Windows as you can't set the volume of the specific stream.

from texttospeechplugin.

I was hoping your plugin would enable me to adjust the volume the way I do in Android Studio. Here is the code:

private TextToSpeech tts;

public void speakthetext2(String s) {
    final String msg = s;
    tts = new TextToSpeech(getApplicationContext(), new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
        @Override
        public void onInit(int status) {
            if (status != TextToSpeech.ERROR) {
                Bundle b = new Bundle();
                b.putFloat(KEY_PARAM_VOLUME, 0.2f);
                tts.speak(msg, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_ADD, b, "1");
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "tts error!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
    });
}

I was hoping for a cross plaform plugin that would enable me to adjust the volume as above for the text message being spoken in my app.

Got it, see that wasn't too hard to explain what you actually wanted it to do and how you were able to accomplish this in java.

So, I have adjust the functionality. If you pass in "null" or don't set the volume it will use the system defaults for whatever the OS decides, which is probably 100%. If you do pass it in then I will set the specific stream's audio on all OS's to use the volume that you pass in.

Since this is a tweak and I need to test a bit more I have a pre-release nuget that you can use: 3.3.0.X-beta

from texttospeechplugin.

@jamesmontemagno I am not sure if that is related to what @pollaris is telling but latest stable version restores my phones volume to highest volume when I use it as below without setting any volume parameter. earlier versions didnt have that behavior

await Plugin.TextToSpeech.CrossTextToSpeech.Current.Speak(textToSpeech, crossLocale: Helpers.Settings.CurrentLocale, cancelToken: ct);

3.3.2 is working on android and windows phone now. Thanks for your help.
