What is it?

TTS Server is an Android text-to-speech app that registers as a system TTS engine, so other apps such as readers can use its voices. It ships with a built-in Microsoft demo interface and lets users define custom HTTP requests to connect other speech services.

Beyond online voices, the app can import other local TTS engines. It distinguishes narration from dialogue by Chinese double quotation marks so the two can be read with different voices. Other features include automatic retries, fallback configurations, and text replacement rules.

The project is written in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose and includes a Go-based component in its topics. Build instructions cover Android Studio and GitHub Actions with signing key setup.
