pampur I tried now to install eSpeak NG as recommended, but tell me "not compatible with my phone" (Pixel 7 Pro with latest GOS). Any reason for that, or I'm missing something?
treequell pampur Which app store are you using to install eSpeak NG? You could be trying to install a 32-bit version of the app. On the Pixel 7 Pro, only 64-bit apps can be installed.
pampur treequell Tried first F-Droid then Github Release from author. Both say my phone isn't compatible. I didn't see any 32-bit or 64-bit apk there. Only one apk is available: espeak-release-signed.apk
treequell [deleted] GrapheneOS does not explicitly recommend a TTS engine, but eSpeak is mentioned in the usage guide: "RHVoice and eSpeak NG are both open source and are the most common choices by GrapheneOS users. Both of these work fine but have licensing issues. eSpeak NG has added Direct Boot based on our request for it, meaning it is able to function before the first unlock." https://grapheneos.org/usage#:~:text=RHVoice%20and%20eSpeak%20NG%20are%20both%20open%20source%20and%20are%20the%20most%20common%20choices%20by%20GrapheneOS%20users.%20Both%20of%20these%20work%20fine%20but%20have%20licensing%20issues.%20eSpeak%20NG%20has%20added%20Direct%20Boot%20based%20on%20our%20request%20for%20it%2C%20meaning%20it%20is%20able%20to%20function%20before%20the%20first%20unlock.

RHVoice Works very well on my device so I never tried eSpeak NG. I got it from f-droid.
treequell pampur You can install the app from Google Play Store or Aurora Store. That version of the app will work fine, since Google enforces all apps in Play Store to be 64-bit.
pampur treequell Thank you. Unfortunately, Aurora Store still not working and I don't use Playstore. Open link from Playstore in Aurora doesn't work in Vanadium.
