Unable to get the supported voices

[asifnkhan]

I am trying to fetch all the supported voices using the code provided below:

this.platform.ready().then((source) => {
      this.tts.getVoices().then(voices => {
        console.log(voices);
      }, error => {
        console.log(error);
      });
});

I am just not getting anything. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Same here. Wonder if anyone has a solution.

I don't know if I was experiencing the exact same issue as either of you, or if you're still looking/waiting for a solution. But for anyone else that is experiencing this issue, these are my findings.

I am using this plugin (v0.5.2) in conjunction with the @awesome-cordova-plugins/text-to-speech-advanced (v5.41.0) plugin in an Ionic Angular project. I also tried using the @ionic-native binding for this plugin.

I was trying to get all the supported voices, but kept receiving nothing in my TypeScript code, but saw that the TTS java code was returning results. Later on I came to the conclusion that all of the functions were exhibiting the same issue. None of them were resolving or rejecting.

For me the solution was to skip the TS bindings and import this plugin directly.

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing same issue. Any simple fix?
@Another-Developer could you help by writing steps to your solution?

@Another-Developer could you explain us how to "skip the TS bindings and import this plugin directly" ?

I was having the same issue-- no voices returned.

To resolve it:

1. Remove the Android/iOS Platforms from your Cordova Project

2. Update your src files from this fork:
   https://github.com/nenahov/cordova-plugin-tts-advanced

3. Add the platforms back to your cordova project.

4. You can now get the voice identifier array.

`function onDeviceReady() {

  TTS.getVoices().then(voices => {
    console.log(voices);
  }, error => {
    console.log(error);
  });

}`

I'd be glad to but since it was from a fork's work and not mine I don't know what else they may have changed so I didn't want to create a PR of someone else's sweat and toil, just point others at it :D

Thanks for the plugin and keeping it up!

Ah my bad, thank you! I've just published this small fix to npm as cordova-plugin-tts-advanced:0.5.3
