Answer 1

After some struggle i have the TTS working. But there is still one issue i had to manually fix. Following are the steps to get the TTS Working

Install the plugin like below.

phonegap plugin add https://github.com/domaemon/org.apache.cordova.plugin.tts.git
phonegap build android

Once installed and built. Add this plugin to the phonegap config.xml file. ( If you are building the app using sencha touch, the config.xml will be in the root folder. )

This will add the plugin to the final build. Now to start the TTS Service and speak some text, use the following snippet.

navigator.tts.startup(startupWin, fail);
function startupWin(result) {
    console.log("Startup win");
    // When result is equal to STARTED we are ready to play
    console.log("Result "+result);
    //TTS.STARTED==2 use this once so is answered
    if (result == 2) {
        navigator.tts.getLanguage(win, fail);
        navigator.tts.speak("The text to speech service is ready");                                     
    }
}                               

function win(result) {
    console.log(result);
}

function fail(result) {
    console.log("Error = " + result);
}

The issue i had was the TTS.STARTED in the startupWin is not defined in the plugin. I just used the constant's value and the plugin works perfectly.
