IsTtsReady()

IsTtsReady()

This function returns 1 (true) if the Text to Speech engine is ready to Speak text. If the TTS engine is not ready 0 (false) is returned.

Something like the following code should be used to ensure the TTS engine is ready before the first use.

timeout = time() + 2000
Do until isTtsReady() or time() > timeout
wait 100
Loop

TtsSpeak "This is spoken text"

By default Text to Speech will be disabled and you must go to the Menu->More->Settings from the main console screen and enable it before use.
