tts-server-android is an Android system TTS application that acts both as a powerful local text-to-speech engine and as a flexible TTS “server” for other apps via HTTP. It includes a built-in Microsoft TTS demo interface and lets users configure custom HTTP requests, making it possible to route TTS through various cloud providers or local servers. The app can import other local TTS engines, giving Android devices a unified interface to multiple voices and providers, and it features simple narration/dialogue detection based on Chinese quotation marks so it can read text with different styles for narration and dialogue. It is built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, and the project is structured into multiple libraries (lib-tts, lib-server, lib-compose, lib-database, etc.) to separate UI, server logic, and TTS handling. The app supports advanced features like automatic retry, fallback configurations, text replacement rules, and integrations with reading apps.
