# Godot TTS
This addon was primarily developed for the [Godot Accessibility addon](https://github.com/lightsoutgames/godot-accessibility), but should work well in other contexts where a Godot game might require text-to-speech.
## Supported Platforms
Text-to-speech is complicated, and some features may not work everywhere. Most optional features have an associated boolean property used to determine if the feature is available. Further, while I do attempt to ensure that this addon works as well as possible on all platforms, there may be bugs, and pull requests are welcome. Known supported platforms include:
* Windows
* Screen readers via [Tolk](https://github.com/dkager/tolk/)
* Native WinRT
* Linux via [Speech Dispatcher](https://freebsoft.org/speechd)
* HTML 5
* Android
## Features
* Speaking text, with interruption support on most platforms
* Stopping speech in progress
* Getting and setting speech rate in both native synthesizer units and percentages
* Detecting whether a screen reader is active
## API
The public-facing API is contained entirely within [TTS.GD](TTS.GD).
