Yet another failure where google should be called out for not having a fallback tts engine for Talkback.

@J3317 @mckensie @FreakyFwoof You liking it not the point. Boo-hoo, you put up with a voice you don't like to fix your phone. Deal with it. Espeak supports the most languages, so it makes the most sense.
@fireborn @J3317 @FreakyFwoof I agree. ESpeak supports more languages than even google and Google even knows it.
-
@J3317 @fireborn @FreakyFwoof Not everyone likes ESpeak, I know. But it should be a fall back engine
@mckensie @fireborn @FreakyFwoof yes, kinda like how CSR has it built in, just set a gesture to switch the currently used TTS engin and if your tts crashes or you loos speech for what ever reason you just do the gesture and boom you have speech

@mckensie @J3317 @FreakyFwoof Seriously. You don't like it. Cry me a river.

@J3317 @mckensie @FreakyFwoof Where is there even a need for that? Just track accessibility service restarts. It's *that* simple

@fireborn @J3317 @FreakyFwoof Lets say newer android phones came with Eloquence by default. Not that they would anyway. I don't like Eloquence either. But you know what, I'll use it if I have to. then I can take care of my TTS engines after the setup

@FreakyFwoof @fireborn @J3317 Wish Apple would bake it into IOS but
-
@fireborn @FreakyFwoof Oh damn, yeah that's one of the reasons I don't like using Android as a primary, if I'm trying to do something quickly and I'm being slowed down by stupid Android's accessibility framework limitation, its annoying.
@alexchapman @fireborn @FreakyFwoof O that's just android itself, not specific to the accessibility things.

@mcourcel I am not, I don't know too much about what's going on with that project. As I said elsewhere, I'm mostly targetting foldable and tablet users, as we are an underserved market.
-
@FreakyFwoof It's a work in progress. I have a very small internal testing team at the moment. Google's accessibility framework is very frajile and breaks if you even breathe on it wrong, so I'm optimising for an underserved market right now, that being tablets and foldables.
@fireborn @FreakyFwoof do you need anymore foldable users? I have a ZFlip 6 here
