text to speech - Android TTS has more languages available than found in settings -

-

i using android's tts (using google's engine) , quite confused settings , language support. how detect if language available:

if (tts.islanguageavailable(currentlocale) >= texttospeech.lang_available) {     ttsavailable = true;     tts.setlanguage(currentlocale);     tts.setonutteranceprogresslistener(new vputteranceprogresslistener()); }

which works fine. in fact, works better expected. default google engine not has dutch voice (as found in settings > input > text-to-speech), yet engine claims available , speaks dutch. did google silently add tts voices , not open them settings?

i don't have 50 reputation comment i'll answer here.

a simple explanation might when android firmware released, tends target particular region, europe. so, european firmware might have pretty western, plus some, or eastern european languages built firmware.

however, tts "service" within firmware, wrapped neatly in app, supporting java / android classes. , since "service", can bundled all, or many languages possible being supported via tts.

so, you'll difference in languages support between firmware , "services" contain in firmware.

i hope above explanation makes sense.

update 1:

with regard "dutch not in list, yet engine support , speaks dutch", oversight, or lack of due diligence in software quality assurance, made google or android device manufacturer, or both. so, though dutch not listed, can still call locale , use in tts. perhaps, need log issue google. maybe can shed further light matter.

i used pyinstaller create standalone exe file pyqt project. did not use single file option because exe created single file option takes long open. therefore, pyinstaller created dist folder contains bunch of files including program.exe file. create setup.exe file place contents of dist folder in program directory , create shortcut in start menu , on desktop. want super simple user. maybe setup.exe files when download program cnet. found inno-setup, looks promising. however, not know if there special considerations because program standalone program create python/pyqt program. thanks! have experience task? there program using task not know about? inno-setup or nsis easiest use. tell them files include , put them , create nice installer you. wrote short tutorial on experiences using innosetup might find helpful: http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2008/08/27/packaging-wxpymail-for-distribution/ note tutorial based around wxpython app wrote, concepts same.
