No TTS Voice

[Joshuap r]

Hello,

I am using OSMAnd+ 3.5.6 from F-Droid on a lineage 16 (Android 9) with microG.
No matter which TTS language I use, it doesn't work. Language packs consisting of voice recordings work.

When I use the OsmAnd development extension to test the languages, the same problem occurs.


I would be happy about a hint what the problem is.

Thanks a lot
Joshua

TTS voices inside OsmAnd are only part of the equation. They define what words OsmAnd should say in voice commands.

There need to be another app/module to know how to pronounce those words via the sound output (speaker).

Check if you have such application. It is usually part of Android (check in Android settings -> accessibility -> text to speech) or can be downloaded from Google Play, Google Text to speech app.

Do you have such a module installed in the Lineage OS 16 with microG?

I've also recently experienced problems with TTS voice announcments.

My selected voice was English (UK), it then reverted to default English (American accent).

When I swapped to another language (French) there were noticable gaps over bluetooth where the French directions should have been (no voice directions).

When I swapped back to UK English then I got the American accent again.

There was a recent update to  Google text-to-speech but I don't know if that is part of the problem.

You must select the same language in Google text-to-speech and then choose the same language of TTS in OsmAnd (does not need to be the same as UI language).

I was able to restore English UK language accent by uninstalling Google text to speech updates.

Not sure if this is a TTS issue, OSMand issue or LineageOS issue.
