MySword Text-to-Speech (TTS) Information/Disclaimer

MySword cannot control the quality of the speech output as this is dependent on what TTS engine and voices that you use. Also, MySword cannot install the engine and voices so you will have to install and configure them yourself. To do this, please follow these steps:

  1. The default TTS engine for Android is already installed so you just need to install the voices. Unfortunately, the voices sound like a robot. So if you want a better engine, you can either try SVOX Classic paid voices or the free-while-in-beta IVONA which are quite good and human-like.
  2. You can then select what engine you want to use by going to Settings->Language & input->Text-to-speech output.
  3. Then install voices. For Google or Pico TTS, the installation is in the same settings screen. For others, use the downloaded app to install voices or use Google Play Store.
  4. Then select the Locale you want using the same settings screen.

Note that MySword is currently not able to select the engine and locale for you. You will need to restart MySword if you need to change the engine or locale.

If you agree with these limitations and wanted to use MySword TTS feature, please tap OK. But if you do not, please tap Cancel or the Back button.
