Moves and Gestures

Text to Speech Engines
By default, Swift Braille is using current settings of Text to Speech in your devices to speech every single character that is typed, but the problem is in the Arabic language is not supported and the user must download any other engine from the Google Play store. But no worries about that, Swift Braille will use pre-stored sounds that will speech every single character the user types (Thanks to Fuad Al Ameer and Mohammad Elbehwashy for the pre-stored Arabic voiceover and great work!).
Check default Text to Speech Engine:
– Go to Settings.
– Go to Language and Input.
– Text to Speech options.
