Feature: Add buttons for common phrases

vatbub opened this issue ยท comments

Because of an accident that I had recently, I am unable to speak for the next few weeks and I started using this app as a tool for communication. I like that the app is simple and clutter free, but I would suggest one addition and that is to give the user the possibility to save common phrases like "Yes" or "I'm ok with that" and have multiple buttons below the EditText for quick access to those phrases.

Cheers :)

Hello Frederik,

My apologies for taking so long to respond to this. I'm glad to hear that you have found my TTS Util app useful.

Thanks to the efforts of @woheller69, the next version of the app will have four memory buttons in the 'Read text' screen. These can be used to save and quickly retrieve common phrases. You can see what it will look like here. It would not be difficult to add more buttons in the future, if that is desirable.

The ability to generate wave files from input text (issue #15) will also, once it is implemented, make this easier.

This feature is now available in version 3.0.0 of the application. Do please let me know if four buttons is insufficient, it would be trivial to increase the number.

Hey, thanks for implementing the feedback ๐Ÿ˜Ž
I just tested it and it seems to work fine, however, since I am able to speak again, I am no longer daily driving the app. Hence, somebody else needs to test the daily usefulness ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Cheers and thanks again for your help ๐Ÿ˜Ž
