Any ideas please? Thanks, Sean Sean Kx Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite Android 13 Skydemon latest version always

If not, it is similar to this but you may have to search menus a bit) Go to Android Settings - General Management - Language and Input - Text to Speech Output The under Preferred engine you should have an option "Google Text-to-speech engine" If not, download 'Google Text-to-speech' from the Play Store. Now go back to the "Preferred engine" point, having selected Google TTS. Tap the cog wheel and then 'Install voice data'. You get a slew of voice options, including 'English (United Kingdom)' from which there are 18 voice options to choose from. Hope that helps. Edited 10/15/2019 9:35:12 PM by DaveWhite

All the voices were available a few weeks ago but now just silence on most. However I have found the English lady listed as English (United States) x-fis-local Think she must have emigrated!
