Answer 1

In case someone might find this helpful. When you split the large text into strings, do not set the length of each string to the exact value of getMaxSpeechInputLength(). Subtract the string length by 1. Otherwise, only the last chunk of string could be read by TTS.

int length = toSpeech.getMaxSpeechInputLength() - 1;
Iterable chunks = Splitter.fixedLength(length).split(largeText);
Lists.newArrayList(chunks);
