TTS function does not work any more

[bege10]

I use QuickDic 5.7.4 with EN, DE and EN-DE dictionaries on Android 13 with Google Speach googletts.google-speech-apk_20240819.02_p3.670724707. TTS doesn't work any more. I don't know whether this happened after an app or an OS update.

German and English TTS work correct with other apps.

I have the same problem on Android 12.

[bege10]

Still an issue with Android 15. Both Android 13 and 15 here are Custom ROMs based on LineageOS.

[LAfricain]

Yes, it's eOS. But with eOS/android 10 it was working.

TTS not available in this language: ttsResult=-2

All I can say is that this should mean you have not text-to-speech provider installed - or at least not the data for English.
I do not have any device where I can reproduce this issue (only old Custom ROMs in use here).
Without a device to reproduce on, it is unlikely I can help further here.
Maybe possible to find more help and information via the eOS support forums?

It definitely is installed and as said other apps work flawlessly with it.

I have 2 Shiftphone 6mq which is a 64-bit-only device. /e/OS Android 13 and iodeOS Android 15 (both are based on LineageOS) come without TTS because there is (or was) no FLOSS TTS for 64 bit. So I installed Google TTS without issues except with this dictionary.
