@DerGolem I have to use it. Because i want to convert Persian text into sound. Please help. – Hangman

I know nothing of eSpeak. I know nothing of C++. I know nothing of Persian. How could I help you? – Vidette

Nothing to be sorry. You could try to find some other TTS Engine with Persian language support. – Vidette

Answer 2

Are you looking for the android branch of this project?

https://github.com/rhdunn/espeak/tree/android

and how to build it

https://github.com/rhdunn/espeak/tree/android#building

You could also try installing one of these two apps and use them from your app.

Here is a thread discussing how to set language while using the first option. - using eSpeak tts engine in application

TTS is a low level feature. May be better to keep it standalone. You can always install an apk as part of your app install. Please see the thread Can an Android app install another android app?

From your app invoke the required TTS engine.

Hope it helps.
