Compiling the Plugin (optional)

If you want to compile the plugin by yourself, it's very easy:

clone this repository;
checkout the desired version;
open godot-text-to-speech directory in Android Studio
don't forget to put godot-lib.release.aar to godot-lib.release directory

If everything goes fine, you'll find the .aar files at godot-text-to-speech/godot-tts/build/outputs/aar/.

Troubleshooting

First of all, please make sure you're able to compile the custom build for Android without plugin, this way we can isolate the cause of the issue.
Using logcat for Android is the best way to troubleshoot most issues. You can filter Godot only messages with logcat using the command:

adb logcat -s godot

Additional methods and signals

I have exposed some more TTS methods and added signals for detecting when then engine starts and stops speaking. I also renamed two methods to match the Google API closer (to avoid tts.initTextToSpeech and tts.textToSpeech). Finally I added a null check when the engine is shut down.
