Class VoiceHelper

java.lang.Object

com.willblaschko.android.alexa.VoiceHelper

public class VoiceHelper
extends java.lang.Object

A helper class that utilizes the TextToSpeech engine built into Android to turn a string-based AVS intent into parsable raw audio that can be sent to the server. This is a work around that allows for more flexibility if the application wants to pre/post-pend strings to the user's request. This could also be done using the SendEvent byte[] buffer with pre-recorded or generated audio
