TTS playback only for selected fields

[axel.m...@gmail.com]

Hi! One great feature of AnkiDroid is the build-in TTS function to read card contents using Androids TTS Service.

But until now there doesn't seem to be the possibility to tell AnkiDroid which parts of the card it should read aloud. It always reads the whole card or nothing at all.

With CSS I can use the ":after" method to add content to my cards, leaving just the fields in the HTML code which I want to be read by TTS. The parts added via CSS will not be read.

But this gets quite a struggle the more complex a card is, so that I need a lot of JavaScript as well to avoid parts of the card being read.

Suggestion for the AnkiDroid devs: Please let the user choose which fields should be read by TTS. Similar to AwesomeTTS (uses an "tts" tag within the HTML) which unfortunately doesn't work on Ankidroid.

Oh, I just realized there is a similar thread just a few days ago. I didn't find that one with the search. So has there been a pull request already for the TTS feature?

ankidroid alpha (2.9) supports the tts tag, draft of the manual for 2.9 is here https://github.com/ankidroid/ankidroiddocs/blob/v2.9-preview/manual.asc

Wow, that's great news! Thank you for that information. So, is it safe to use the alpha version? Can I get it through the playstore?

The contributing page on the github wiki shows how to get alphas from the play store, they are forward and backwards compatible and pretty stable right now. We hope to be in beta with them soon
