I am running /e/ on my FP2. Initially I was using the default eSpeak TTS. This did work at least for some apps (albeit with the robotic voice some users have complained about). However it didn’t work with Zombies, Run!
On ZR, normal audio was working fine. I can play my own playlist (using Vinyl) and the ZR episode clips would chip in at the correct points. However, the TTS part wasn’t working (Km checkpoints, collecting objects, and most importantly—Zombie chases!)
I searched on the forums and found this post about installing Ivona in place of eSpeak. I tried that and it works.
A couple of questions:
- Anyone know why eSpeak TTS would work for some apps and not others, and why Ivona would work where eSpeak doesn’t?
- According to one follow-up post, Ivona may send data to Google Analytics… is that possible, if Google Services are not installed? There is no Exodus Privacy Report for this app as it was removed from the Play Store.
