Hi,

This is Mohammad AlBanna, the developer of Swift Braille soft keyboard project for blind and visually impaired! However, I've been disappointed that Google text to speech app hasn't supported yet Arabic voices. We, as Android Apps developers for blind are very interested to enter this market! We've about 8 millions from blind and visually impairment from Arab world, most of them are Android users! Despite Google TTS supports many voices from different languages, and Google supports Arabic voices in other apps like Google translator! The other alternatives are very costly and suffer from lack of support!

Because of that, I got in touch with Arab blind community and launched a campaign to support this demand from Google! Also, we made a questionnaire and published its results here with a great message from blind to Google to support this right and provide a good accessibility services inside Android OSs.

The campaign details link:

Is there anyone in this community has any good point why this big market has not support yet in such important app like a TTS? I had bad times developing more apps for blind community because for me as a developer it is very expensive and costly to participate in a developer license to embed any engine inside my apps that supports Arabic voices! Is there any direct contact to deliver this message to the developers of Google TTS?

Please help posting and tweeting in the hashtag #SupportArabicInGoogleTTS!

I appreciate your help guys!

Regards,
Mohammad
