I have to use react-native-tts instead of Expo Speech module because there is a huge difference between default iOS voice Expo uses and the native siri one you can pick.
On iOS, it’s basically just adding
utterance.voice = [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice voiceWithIdentifier:voice]
https://github.com/ak1394/react-native-tts can be used as a reference
Can someone update Speech module to support setting voice or point me to where I can find it to make PR?
Hey @andrey,
If this is urgent for you, it’d be best to submit a PR since as far as I know, this isn’t in the pipeline to be added to the SDK near-term. Our source of truth is this repo GitHub - expo/expo: An open-source platform for making universal native apps with React. Expo runs on Android, iOS, and the web.
Cheers,
Adam
Hey @adamjnav, thanks for your reply. Made PR here: Add option to select voice by pyankoff · Pull Request #2833 · expo/expo · GitHub
Awesome, thanks for doing that! Looks like James has already started some back and forth with you there.
