  • android/app/build.gradle
dependencies {
    ...
    compile project(':react-native-android-speech')
}
  • register module (in MainActivity.java)

import com.mihir.react.tts.*; // Import package 
 
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements DefaultHardwareBackBtnHandler {
    ...
    
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mReactRootView = new ReactRootView(this);
 
        mReactInstanceManager = ReactInstanceManager.builder()
                .setApplication(getApplication())
                .setBundleAssetName("index.android.bundle")
                .setJSMainModuleName("index.android")
                .addPackage(new MainReactPackage())
                .addPackage(new RCTTextToSpeechModule())           // Add any extra modules here 
                .setUseDeveloperSupport(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
                .setInitialLifecycleState(LifecycleState.RESUMED)
                .build();
 
        mReactRootView.startReactApplication(mReactInstanceManager, "YourProject", null);
