private TextToSpeech textToSpeech;public void saySomething() { textToSpeech = new TextToSpeech(this, new OnInitListener() { @Override public void onInit(int status) { // Note: If the code calls speak() before initialization has finished, nothing will happen textToSpeech.speak("Hello", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null, null); } });}Important imports
import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech;import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech.OnInitListener;Other notes
textToSpeech.shutdown() should be called inside the Activity's onDestroy.
