Text to speech in spanish male in xamarin forms

Adolfo Paniagua 1

Hello I need my xamarin forms application for android and ios to speak with a male voice in Spanish without using third party subscriptions since the customer does not want to pay for them, but is willing to pay if it is a tts (text to speech) for a single fee.

at the moment i have tried with the text to speech of jamesmontemagno but i have only managed to get the female voice, also i have looked for some payment tts but i have managed to find none.

For this function, try using the Speech Service of Azure. It provides the Spanish Male Neural voices and supports to work Xamarin.

For more details, you could check the following tutorial:

I am developing a Xamarin.Forms application for Android and iOS that implements Text-To-Speech functionality.

So far i am using this plugin to achieve my goal, and it works perfect except for one detail: i have only managed to get the female Spanish voice, but the requirements of my application are that it is a male Spanish voice, so the question is: does anyone know how to get the male Spanish voice in a Text-To-Speech application?

[Note: I am currently not interested in any third party subscriptions]

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

If you don't want to some other apis, try achieving the male voice function on the native platform.

IOS supports to consume the male voice, you could get that on the device. Open the Settings app -> General -> Accessibility -> Speech, select the language and set the voice.
