the text-to-speech is not working after built

[sumanbogati]

I can successfully built your project, however the text-to-speech is not working, I can't hear the audio after clicked on "button" text, the apk file is installed in android phone.
Here is my index.android.js

` import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
AppRegistry,
StyleSheet,
Text,
View,
Platform,
TouchableHighlight,
TouchableNativeFeedback
} from 'react-native';

var tts = require('react-native-android-speech')

function buttonClicked () {
    tts.speak({
        text:'Please provide some text to speak.', // Mandatory
        pitch:1.5, // Optional Parameter to set the pitch of Speech,
        forceStop : false , //  Optional Parameter if true , it will stop TTS if it is already in process
        language : 'en' // Optional Paramenter Default is en you can provide any supported lang by TTS
    }).then(isSpeaking=>{
        //Success Callback
        console.log(isSpeaking);
    }).catch(error=>{
        //Errror Callback
        console.log(error)
    });

     setTimeout(function(){ alert("finished here"); }, 3000);

}
class mysound extends Component {

  render() {
    var TouchableElement = TouchableHighlight;
    if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
        TouchableElement = TouchableNativeFeedback;
    }
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
          <Text style={styles.welcome}>
            Tap me as fast as you can!
          </Text>

          <TouchableElement
            onPress={buttonClicked}>
            <View>
              <Text>Button!</Text>
            </View>
          </TouchableElement>
  </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    justifyContent: 'center',
    alignItems: 'center',
    backgroundColor: '#F5FCFF',
  },
  welcome: {
    fontSize: 20,
    textAlign: 'center',
    margin: 10,
  },
  instructions: {
    textAlign: 'center',
    color: '#333333',
    marginBottom: 5,
  },
});
AppRegistry.registerComponent('mysound', () => mysound);

Can you please tell me why this is not working ? I have downloaded your code before one month and since then I have been working on this.

@sumanbogati Could you please show me the error logs so that I can look at errors ?

[sumanbogati]

When I am alerting the error, it would come something like below

Hi Mihir,

Have you found something related to this error ?

I would really appreciate if you give me the working example of text-to-speech.

Thank you.

I am also trying to get this to work but having no luck.

What's odd is that if I output tts to the console, it says it's an object with five functions (speak, stop, shutDown, etc.). But if I try to use tts.speak() I get Cannot read property 'speak' of undefined. The console says tts is defined but it suddenly becomes undefined if I try to use it.

function buttonClicked () {
    var tts = require('react-native-android-speech')
    console.log("tts = ", tts);
    tts.speak({text:'Please provide some text to speak.'});
}

I think I am running into the same Problem. However it looks as if the tts import from the package works, but the AndroidTTS object is not able to send the speak message.

ReactNativeJS: { [TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'AndroidTTS.speak')] ReactNativeJS: line: 82144, ReactNativeJS: column: 11, ReactNativeJS: sourceURL: 'http://10.0.2.2:8081/index.android.bundle?platform=android&dev=true&hot=false&minify=false' }

@scepticulous Do you have sample repo where I can reproduce this ?

[dennissivia]

Hi @mihirsoni, here is an minimal example app that causes the error.

I get same issue too. Whatever function I use (isSpeaking, isSpeak, getLocales), I got error "Cannot read property 'isSpeaking' of undefined", "Cannot read property 'isSpeak' of undefined", "Cannot read property 'getLocale' of undefined". Still figure out the solution
