How to give pause or gap between words in TTS in android

Question

I have given a text in mytts.speak("hi hello hi",parameter,parameter...);

But the words are continuously said without any gap or pause, I want to provide some time gap between words for more clarity.

How could I achieve this ?

If I understand your question correctly, this thread has the answer (by rushi).

Simply add a delay into the TTS queue by splitting the string and loop over the snippets via a for loop:

mytts.speak(snippet, QUEUE_ADD, null);
mytts.playSilentUtterance(2000, QUEUE_ADD, null);
