A Capacitor plugin for synthesizing speech from text in cross-platform mobile apps.
Text to Speech is a Capacitor plugin that provides native text-to-speech functionality for iOS and Android apps built with Capacitor. It solves the problem of adding accessible, platform-native speech synthesis to hybrid mobile applications through a simple JavaScript API.
Mobile developers using Capacitor or Ionic to build cross-platform apps that require voice output, such as for accessibility features, voice assistants, or educational tools.
Developers choose this plugin because it offers a unified, well-documented API that seamlessly integrates with native iOS and Android TTS engines, eliminating the need to write platform-specific code for speech synthesis.

Leverages iOS and Android's built-in TTS engines for high-quality, accessible speech output, eliminating the need for custom native code.
Offers a simple, consistent interface that abstracts platform complexities, making it easy to implement TTS across iOS and Android with minimal setup.
Provides methods to query supported languages and voices, allowing dynamic selection and verification, as shown in the getSupportedVoices and isLanguageSupported APIs.
Includes an onRangeStart event to track word-by-word speech progress, useful for syncing UI elements with audio playback.
Features like the category option for iOS and openInstall for Android are not cross-platform, requiring conditional code and potentially inconsistent behavior.
Speech quality, available voices, and language support depend entirely on the device's native TTS engine, which can vary widely across devices and OS versions.
Lacks support for advanced TTS features like custom pronunciations or emotion synthesis, as it only exposes basic parameters like rate and pitch from native APIs.
