What speech engine in substitution of Google one?

I removed the Google Speech engine (robotic voice to give human-like voice to apps) and I looking for a new one in F-droid. I interested in both English and Italian voices.

Any idea?

TTS Util is worth giving a shot

Did you finally find a solution? I'm looking for the same thing

I use these for various functions

I also have Vosk Keyboard installed, but I think I installed that manually from a link in FlorisBoard.

Dicio is a voice-driven assistant. I think what you asked for was the second item, VoiceNotify. It's not a screen reader, though, just a notification reader. It works well for that. One (or more) of them depends on RHVoice, which provides the engine.

I don't know if any of them provide Italian; I think RHVoice's developers are Russian, since the main default model is Russian. I'm using the english model and out works fine.

Unfortunately RH doesn't have Italian.
