Is there any way to roll back to the earlier version? Bengali speech sounds

Hi siddalingeshwar, It's Analu from the Google Disability Support team.
Thank you for reporting the issue regarding Talkback not reading emojis. We
understand the importance of this feature and your feedback helps us
improve accessibility to all users. After we shared your feedback with the
product team, they were able to provide a solution! You should now, after
the latest Google TTS update,  be able to read emojis again while using
Talkback.

Hi friends,

The English US voice has updated today on my device and it is speaking Emojis 
correctly now. You may check for the update in case you wish to read and use 
Emojis.

Hi friends,

There was a discussion regarding Google TTS not announcing Emojis which mates 
found to be limiting use of Emojis in chats and other content. Today morning, 
in an attempt to make it work, I found that the English United Kingdom voices 
speak Emojis correctly while the others like English India, English US and 
English Australia do not speak emojis.

So if you wish to make use of emojis then English UK can be selected as the 
Google TTS voice for English. However, the voice doesn't sound as natural as 
English US to me.

[AI] Emojis and Google TTS

2020-09-11 Thread Zujar Kanchwala
Hi friends,

There was a discussion regarding Google TTS not announcing Emojis
which mates found to be limiting use of Emojis in chats and other
content. Today morning, in an attempt to make it work, I found that
the English United Kingdom voices speak Emojis correctly while the
others like English India, English US and English Australia do not
speak emojis.

So if you wish to make use of emojis then English UK can be selected
as the Google TTS voice for English. However, the voice doesn't sound
as natural as English US to me.

 I had to face another strange problem when I tried to share a selected

 content. After tapping on the share, swiping left to right moves only

 between two or three items in the share menu. I am facing this problem

 only on samsung M31S and not on Moto G4+.
