Ra (Freyja) (it/its)𒀭𒈹𒍠𒊩hey @GrapheneOS is there a way to request a Pixel 8 pro grapheneOS stock image with the tts integrated? I'm getting a pixel 8 pro next week and really want to try out GrapheneOS, is there a way to build one from source with that project integrated into it? I'm more than wiling to build the OS from source with my own keys and run my own update server
GrapheneOS@freya We plan to include our SpeechServices app providing text-to-speech in the OS very soon. We've had a lot of recent work caused by the release of Android 16 QPR2, upstream Chromium regressions, our Motorola partnership announcement and hiring multiple additional full time developers. Our TTS app was meant to be included in the OS already but has gotten delayed because a fair bit needs to be done to get it fully in shape for inclusion. It should be done within a week or two now.
@GrapheneOS oh fuck yes! I am excited!
@freya Our SpeechServices app is at https://github.com/GrapheneOS/SpeechServices if you want to build it and try it. It should work on another OS although we haven't been testing that. We have a bunch of improvements including performance enhancements making it a better experience which are pending and that's why it hasn't been included in the OS yet since the last round of changes before the initial release in the OS hasn't been completed yet. We could include it in our App Store prior to the OS though.

@GrapheneOS oooo. I need to figure out the easiest and least fucky wayy to build that lol. android studio with a screenreader is what we in the industry call an unpleasant experience
