did you find out ....?   in my case the code does not even make the app speak  ,  there no sound  . 

[Robert]

This is the documentation https://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/tts/TextToSpeech

This is how you find out what languages are possible https://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/tts/TextToSpeech#getAvailableLanguages()

Don't know what jnius does with a Java Set, but you can experiment.....

I don't have an example.

In https://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/tts/TextToSpeech   you can find below statement at very beginning of the page  ,

how to do it in kivy ..?     

Apps targeting Android 11 that use text-to-speech should declare TextToSpeech.Engine.INTENT_ACTION_TTS_SERVICE in the queries elements of their manifest:

<queries> ... <intent> <action android:name="android.intent.action.TTS_SERVICE" /> </intent> </queries>

[Robert]

> how to do it in kivy ..?     

It is possible that buildozer.spec enables this:

1)  research where the <queries> element belongs in the AndroidManifest.

2) research if any of the the buildozer.spec that alter the AndroidManifest enable this.

I have not done this research.
