@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 I'm looking if I might be able to add support for different languages in the future. I see you've written a phonemizer doing the g2p as a part of the app. However training is done on a computer running your improved matcha TTS. While training what phonemizer were you using? Matcha's fork of Misaki or something else? I will be looking more into it, I'm also too excited about it right now.
