Vinyas TTS

Vinyas TTS: Seamless language routing for all TTS engines.

Vinyas TTS is an advanced, lightweight, and offline Text-to-Speech (TTS) routing application designed specifically for screen readers like TalkBack. Developed by Shukla Tech Group, this app does not generate its own voices; instead, it acts as a smart bridge to seamlessly connect and manage your favorite TTS engines (like Speech Recognition and Synthesis from Google, Eloquence TTS, Vocalizer, etc.) installed on your device.

Whether you read bilingual articles, multi-lingual books, or messages containing diverse scripts, Vinyas TTS automatically detects the language and routes the text to the correct TTS engine and voice instantly, without any manual switching.

Core Routing Features:
• Dual-Mode Routing: Set up a Primary and Secondary TTS engine (e.g., English and Hindi) for seamless bilingual reading.
• Multi-Mode Routing: Go beyond two languages! Set up 3 or more languages with custom voice variants for each specific script.
• App-Specific Voices: Dynamically switch TTS voices based on the application you are currently using. You can even configure multiple languages and voices tailored specifically for individual apps!

Advanced Reading Tools:
• Vinyas Reader: Effortlessly read long articles, large copied texts, or direct web links. Designed specifically to assist visually impaired users, this feature extracts content and reads it seamlessly in the background, allowing you to consume large amounts of text without keeping the app open.

Smart Text Filtering & Processing:
• Seamless Reading Mode: Read mixed-language text without breaking the flow! This mode prevents abrupt voice switching by making your primary voice naturally read foreign words embedded in a sentence.
• Smart OTP Reader & Shake-to-Read: Automatically detects OTPs, PINs, and Passwords (4-8 digits) and reads them clearly digit-by-digit. Missed it? Just shake your phone within 30 seconds to hear the OTP again!
• Smart Bank & Mobile Number Reader: Intelligently formats and reads Bank Account numbers and Mobile Numbers (+91, toll-free, etc.) digit-by-digit for maximum accessibility.
• Smart Emoji & Symbol Filter: Annoyed by repetitive emojis or symbols? This filter compresses consecutive identical characters into a single spoken count (e.g., instead of reading a clapping emoji five times, it simply says "5 Clapping Hands").

Advanced Customization:
• User Dictionary: Create your own custom pronunciation rules for specific words. Easily import or export your dictionary configurations.
• Independent Number & Punctuation Processing: Choose a specific language engine strictly for reading numbers and punctuation marks independently of the main text.
• Emergency Mode: If your primary third-party TTS engine ever crashes or goes silent, simply hold any one Volume button (Up or Down) for 5 seconds to instantly force-switch to a reliable backup engine like Speech Recognition and Synthesis from Google.
• TalkBack Optimized: 100% crash-free volume handling utilizing standard Accessibility Audio Attributes.

--- Prominent Disclosure for Accessibility Service API ---
Vinyas TTS uses the Accessibility Service API strictly for its 'Emergency Mode' feature. This permission allows visually impaired users to securely hold any one Volume button (Up or Down) for 5 seconds to force-switch to a backup TTS engine if their primary voice unexpectedly stops working. We DO NOT use this permission to read your screen, monitor your typing, intercept personal information, or collect any data. The monitoring happens entirely locally.
