Android Speak Characters as you type

[famadorian]

Is there any app that speaks out the characters you type? on Android?

I find this would be the best way for me to train, while laying in bed, with my eyes closed

Tutor 2 Alpha will do that:

I use an app called Type and Speak for this, and have it configured to read the complete word when I finish typing.

Unfortunately it's been pulled from the app store but you can still find the APK.

I wrote a simple script to do this using only the open source qpython on android (https://github.com/qpython-android/qpython/releases):

import sys, termios, tty
from androidhelper import Android
print('''
	
pyspeakchar_qpython - start typing to hear characters

press CTRL-D to quit

''')
droid = Android()
fd = sys.stdin.fileno()
settings = termios.tcgetattr(fd)
try:
  tty.setraw(fd)
  char = 32
  while not char in [42, 30, 3, 4]:
    droid.ttsSpeak(chr(char))
    char = ord(sys.stdin.read(1))
finally:
  termios.tcsetattr(fd, termios.TCSADRAIN, settings)
