@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

textView=findViewById(R.id.ttxt);
button=findViewById(R.id.btn_c);
editText=findViewById(R.id.txt);

textToSpeech=new TextToSpeech(getApplicationContext()
, new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {

public void onInit(int i) {
if (i == TextToSpeech.SUCCESS) {
//SELECT YOUR LOCAL LANGUAGE
 int lang = textToSpeech.setLanguage(Locale.ENGLISH);

}
}
});

button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
