Droidcedas : Wwwjdic For Android 2.1 Released

The newest unloosen is directly alive inwards the Android Market. The highlights of this version are improved Japanese text-to-speech (TTS) as well as Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS) support.

Version 2.0 introduced Japanese TTS back upwardly using the gratuitous N2 TTS spoken language engine, but manifestly (and unfortunately) it is non available from the Android Market exterior of Japan. In 2.1 I've added back upwardly for 2 other major Japanese TTS engines: SVOX Japanese and AquesTalk TTS. You tin directly switch the Japanese TTS engine inwards the Settings screen, banking enterprise gibe out the screenshot below. The app doesn't banking enterprise gibe if the engine is genuinely installed, as well as then y'all should install the relevant TTS packet earlier changing the setting (if y'all choose an engine that is non available, Japanese TTS back upwardly volition hold out disabled throughout the app). Another improvement inwards this release: the settings concealment is directly using an activity bar, courtesy of ActionBarSherlock v3.4.0.


Unfortunately, an API to listing available TTS engines was exclusively added in ICS, as well as then currently at that spot is no way to automatically detect installed engines that back upwardly Japanese. If y'all recollect the engine y'all are using should hold out supported, driblet me a line.

Another ofttimes requested characteristic is TTS back upwardly for instance sentences. This is directly available, simply press the speaker push on the activity bar:


The of late announced Android 4.0, a.k.a Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), brings a lot of features previously available exclusively on tablets to handsets equally well. The almost visible alter is, of course, the redesigned UI, including native activity bar back upwardly as well as slimmer tabs. WWWJDIC directly follows the ICS display trend of activity bar on transcend of tabs inwards portrait mode, as well as has been optimized to await prissy on ICS. More spill out this volition hold out done when I larn an actual ICS device. Here's how the brain concealment looks when running on ICS:



And 1 end thing: non to blow my ain horn, but WWWJDIC for Android 2.0 was voted best Honeycomb-compatible app on the recent Android Developers Lab follow-up number at Google Tokyo. Among other things, this agency I larn to become to Goole I/O side yesteryear side twelvemonth :)
