TextToSpeech (Codename One API)

java.lang.Object

com.codename1.media.TextToSpeech

public final class TextToSpeech extends Object

Speaks text aloud using the platform's built-in synthesizer.

iOS -- AVSpeechSynthesizer.
Android -- android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.
JavaSE simulator -- best-effort: say on macOS, espeak on Linux, SAPI via PowerShell on Windows. When none of those tools are present, isSupported() returns false and speak(String) silently no-ops so simulator code paths keep working.

No permissions or Info.plist entries are required.

TextToSpeech.speak("Welcome to the demo");
