okay, so I got a pixel7 phone recently, and the tts engins I normally use are not working because the phone is 64bit only, I can't use eloquence or vocaliser, And I really am not a fan of espeak and rhvoice, does anybody know of any synthesisers that might work with this?

With the tts I sadly can't help, but in private, please tell me your experience about your new pixel!

kay, just sent you a pm.

can you send me a pm about that as well? I want to try a pixel soon

You could use acapela or vocalizer btw

slight problem with that, those voices are payed. And I don't think using a patcher for those voices will work. Even blindhelp doesn't have them yet at least not the engine for android, the only way of using it is if you have a braille note touch or touch+

I switched to ios, and back then when I wrote that, acapela for mutlitts didn't exist

And what is the problem with paying and not searching on piracy sites? Look, I used to be like that earlier, and I still do that sometimes, but do you realize you literally smash down hundreds of hours of hard work by just using a crack? Always pay if you can.

Well as others have said Vocalizer works but not only is it paid, but it has some stability issues. I have a Pixel 8 and sometimes Vocalizer Tom will just crash and I have to restart the phone. If you're looking for more synthetic options, DECtalk was ported to Android recently, and ESpeak has been on Android for a long time.

Sidenote: when I first got my Pixel 8 I reached out to CodeFactory, and they said they have no intention of updating Eloquence to work on 64-bit only devices, which is a shame.

oh yeah I can defenetly see that no one is porting that synth. as for how they got it working on iOS? If they had the sourcecode and never told us that they did so that we could update the IBM voice libraries to work in conjunction with the 64 bit OS's?

For me it's Dectalk all the way. Sometimes Google, but not Samsung anymore because they scrued up for the last time. They decided to pull a microsoft and try and make their voices exclusive to their apps. No thanks! Google TTS, as much as i like the high quality voices, can't always use them. And ESpeak has way too many glitches. I hope to get a Pixel soon. And by the way I mainly use Dectalk Harry.
But yeah. I never thought I'd see the day where we'd get Dectalk for android. But we did! I gave up on Vocalizer entirely because of that reason you mentioned. -- (KanawhaCountyWX):

Uh sorry lol but where does ESpeak have any "glitches"? Been using it on my phone without issues. I personallyy would probably get headaches from a minute of using Dektalk.

I used espeak for the secondary tts for my notifications and stuff but then switched to dectalk as espeak has glitches with auto tts when using the same engine on multiple languages.

The only thing keepingg me from daily driving DECtalk is I wish it could speak just a little bit faster, and also I'd like for a custom speech dictionary to be implamented. Also, one other thing that would be nice would be a punctuation toggling mode, where you can, for instance, have something in brackets treated either as DECtalk commands, or as traditional text. An app I use for weather information, IEM Mobile, the U.S National Weather Service formats storm alerts and reports with hazard info in square brackets, and DECtalk tries to treat it as if it's speech commands and when it should say how bad the storm coming my way is, it just says "command error in phoneme."

about that. The dectalk engine doesn't use emoticons either
