Are there any good FOSS TTS engines? (lemmy.ml)

espeak's apk doesn't seem to have been updated in 2 years and says it isn't compatible with my phone (Pixel 8a). I'm not sure if there are any decent ones. I want TTS for OSMAnd's navigation while driving. They do prerecorded voices too but those can only say prerecorded things obviously, so eg can't say specific road names.

RHVoice. I am blind and rely on the TalkBack screen reader a lot and this is the synthesizer I use.

Thank you! I've got RHVoice working with TalkBack. It's not working with OSMAnd but I assume that's an OSMAnd issue not an RHVoice issue, so I'll go troubleshoot that

I haven't used RH Voice for OSMAnd but I do use it with Organic Maps and it works very well

tysm for this suggestion—just tried Organic Maps and it works perfectly with RHVoice! :)
