import android.speech.tts.TextToSpeech;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ImageButton;

public class Texttospeechs extends AppCompatActivity {

    TextToSpeech t1;
    EditText write;
    ImageButton speakbtn;


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


        write=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
        speakbtn=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.board);

        t1=new TextToSpeech(getApplicationContext(), new TextToSpeech.OnInitListener() {
            @Override
            public void onInit(int status) {
                if (status != TextToSpeech.ERROR) {
                    t1.setLanguage(Locale.UK);
                }
            }
        });
        speakbtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                String toSpeak = write.getText().toString();
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), toSpeak, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                t1.speak(toSpeak, TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
            }
        });

    }
    @Override
    public void onDestroy() {
        // Don't forget to shutdown tts!
        if (t1 != null) {
            t1.stop();
            t1.shutdown();
        }
        super.onDestroy();
    }
}

•  Now Open res -> layout -> activity_main.xml and then add following code :

XML (activity_main.xml)

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:background="#A7A0A0"
    tools:context=".Texttospeechs"

    android:padding="10dp"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="300dp"
        android:background="#ffffff"
        android:hint="Write your text here :"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"
        android:maxHeight="140dp"
        android:padding="8dp"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/board"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.848" />

    <ImageButton
        android:id="@+id/board"
        android:layout_width="90dp"
        android:layout_height="60dp"
        android:layout_gravity="end"
        android:layout_marginBottom="292dp"
        android:background="@drawable/speaker"
        android:scaleType="fitXY"
        android:shadowRadius="5"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.498"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/editText"
        app:srcCompat="@drawable/speaker" />
    </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Output:

Finally, run this project.
