Wow. Nice. Any TTS for android? I don't like google services so i'm still missing something that can for example read back directions from Osmand. It needs to speak german, though. And english of course.

I don't know, isn't TTS an AOSP feature in Android? As in, a foss part rather than a proprietary Google thing? Look into what alternatives like Graphene do about this.

Yeah. I have GrapheneOS. TTS isn't in ASOP. It is in the additional proprietary google stuff I didn't install. I believe many people on Graphene just install this.

This is great.

Typed with the Android app, I can't believe we already have something so good and so flexible that it gives the ability to select different models too!

Yea it's totally dope, I re-found it just today. Sadly my old phone is hopelessly outgunned.

Has anyone gotten the Andriod app working? I installed the APK and it will activate from OpenBoard and show that it's listening, but it won't actually output anything into a text field.

Launch the FUTO Voice Input app first. It'll give you prompts you need to set it up.

Thanks for the tip, but I tried that. FUTO Voice Input method is enabled in the keyboard settings; microphone permissions are granted.When I press the voice input button on the keyboard it pops up and listens, but no output is entered into the text field. I do notice that anytime I have a text field open, I now have a pinned notification saying "Chose Input Method". Clicking on that and choosing Futo voice still leads to the same no output issue. Any other tips would be appreciated.

I dunno. The way it works for my old phone, is that it listens for a while, then goes into "processing" and then outputs the text. Faster phones should work on the fly, but I really don't know anything else.

In the app there's a field to test, so try that I guess.

To piggy back off this is there a good FOSS text to speech app for Android?

For some time I have been lurking around this topic and for general computer use, including typing, talon seemed like the best option
