Text to Speech Api does not have pause method in Android but in ios it has

[Android Central Question]

Is there any way to support Pause functionality Text to Speech Api in Android. I did not found any pause method in Text to Speech Api but ios has support for it. Please provide any solution for it.

There are a few text to speech apps in the Google Play Store. Try a few different ones (the free ones are, of course free) to see if one of them has a pause feature. If you install one that doesn't, you can always uninstall it.

Edit:
Oh, wait. You're talking about an app you're writing? Not without jumping through hoops. Feed the TTS API one word at a time and stop if the user hits the pause button in your app.
