speak 0.1.0

Text-to-speech for Flutter on iOS, macOS, Android and web, made for short spoken prompts over other audio. No native code to write or set up.

0.1.0

• First release: text-to-speech on iOS, macOS, Android and the web.
• Awaitable utterances with an outcome (completed, interrupted, expired); queue or interrupt; expireAfter; stop.
• Voices with BCP-47 language, quality, network and install state; the best voice chosen for a language; availability for a language.
• Rate, pitch and volume, per call or as defaults.
• Word progress, pause and resume on every platform (Android resumes from the last reported word).
• Audio sharing per platform (SpeakAudio): iOS audio session and Android audio focus claimed right before speaking and given back after a short linger, or held with holdAudio. Modes mix, duck, duckAndPauseSpoken (SpeakAudio.navigation: music lowered, podcasts paused), pauseSpoken and pause.
• A silent leadIn before the first utterance after the audio is claimed, so Bluetooth headsets do not swallow the first syllable.
• Android engine choice (Speak.androidEngines, AndroidSpeakOptions).
• Per-utterance timeouts, and a stop that never waits on a silent engine.
