TTS is super important for us cyclists. And I believe that cyclists, especially the urban, lifestyle kind are a great market for sustainability- and/or privacy oriented phones.
Actually I use this project on my android phone : https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-onnx
And the apk for your language is here : https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/tts/apk-engine.html
I hope this discovery has helped some of you

I have downloaded the F-droid app :
Installed the voice model for my own language (i could choose between 4 models!)
Tested with Organic Maps en OSMand and it works very nice!

What model did you choose and what settings? I am dutch myself and I am not really finding them great. Is there also a way to add some more models?
I ‘m using this model : nld(nl_BE-rdh-medium) and i did not change any settings.
It ‘s the dutch model for Belgium like you can see, i have no experience with models for the Netherlands.
The app says : “only 1 model per language”
so you have to delete a model first before you can install another one.
There are 4 piper models for dutch-BE
There are 2 piper models and 1 coqui model for dutch-NL
