Support Android system: Google Text-to-speech Engine App Alternative

I downloaded the apk and it works fine as a stand-alone application. It does not appear to replace the built-in TTS. I was hoping that Sherpa-Onnx was similar to Google TTS, RHVoice, eSpeak or picoTTS which provide drop-in replacements for mobile TTS. The voices sound great on my phone. Is there a way to port them over to a TTS engine?

I am working on it.

FYI: I just managed to implement
https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/speech/tts/TextToSpeechService
and you can use it to replace the system TTS engine.

I will create a PR over the weekend.
