You need to break it down, word by word, and highlight the mentioned word. For e.g. if we take a sentence like "You haven't typed text":

 tts.speak("You", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
/*Change size or color of "You" in your TextView for e.g.*/
 tts.speak("haven't", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
/*Change size or color of "haven't" in your TextView for e.g.*/
 tts.speak("typed", TextToSpeech.QUEUE_FLUSH, null);
/*Change size or color of "typed" in your TextView for e.g.*/

...

You can do this by using txtText.getText().toString().Split" "; to return a String Array of the words separated by space. Then loop through this Array to know which word is spoken and highlight it in the TextView like this for e.g.
