I want to test a button that will allow user to type in Hebrew and get TTS to say that text.

I don't have an android device, so am using the Emulator.

I defined the following:

Set TTS language property

and

Set language in TTS

But in the Emulator, Hebrew is not defined in either home/menu/settings/language & keyboard/ or home/menu/settings/text-to-speech/language.

How can I replace some of the (useless for me) languages in the Emulator with other languages (both for keyboards and TTS)?

  • this thread https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mitappinventortest/r6JL0jrlR-Q/Ho1-12XZMd0J might be interesting for you... – Taifun Dec 17 '14 at 16:36
  • Thanks for the suggestion, @Taifun. I've already been to the URL you mentioned. Unfortunately, the post's writer assumes that YandexTranslator is already include in one's Palette (which is not true in my case) and I saw no mention as to how to get YandexTranslator to be added to App Inventor 2. – boardrider Dec 18 '14 at 20:31
  • you can find the YandexTranslate component in the Media drawer, see also the [documentation](http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/components/media.html#YandexTranslate) – Taifun Dec 18 '14 at 22:49

@Taifun comments to my OP constitute the answer to the OP, and following his URLs, I tried to implement Hebrew speech in an ai2 script.

However, seems there's a particular problem with Hebrew speech, as nothing is heard for an Hebrew sentence (while the same configuration produced English speech without a problem, viz. Can Hebrew be used with TextToSpeech and YandexTranslate?)
