Hi friends,

maybe someone knows:
Does ANDROID support text-to-speech right out of the box?

If yes, starting which what version of Android?
If not, what does it need to make it work?

But I'm afraid, most users will not want to download and install
an extra app or whatever for this if neccessary.

Thanks for any insights!


Best from sunny germany

Hello Klaus,

Are you having any issues with the new Speech Library (speechSpeakUtterance
etc)? This should work out of the box on Android 5 (or 6?) and above.

Kind regards,
Panos

no, I was just investigating BEFORE I add this to my app. :-)

Great, thanks a lot!

P.S.
Again Matthias could sign my Android app with the namely keystore file
that gave me an error. He did it with LC 9.6.13.

I downloaded that version and will try here. 
Too funky... 8-)

Hi all. 

I am looking for someone who has the capability of developing a server side application that can either watch a folder and process PDF files, or else respond to a shell command using the cmd prompt or else powershell. 

The application needs to convert a PDF form to a flattened PDF file. Bonus if you can extract the form data before flattening it. If anyone has the skillset to do this, contact me off list. 

There are web apps that can do this but they are subscription based, and only one has an API that allows me to use shell commands.

Belay my last. VeryUtils.com has a product called commandLineTools which does exactly what I am looking for. I could not get it to work before but that was because my syntax was wrong and they don’t return errors if something fails.

Still not sure why this is happening, but it’s the list server doing it for sure. I was posting that I found a solution from VeryUtils that already does what I want.

Not sure why your message came through as Base64! Here’s an English version:

"Still not sure why this is happening, but it’s the list server doing it for sure. I was posting that I found a solution from VeryUtils that already does what I want. “
