No idea of what happened, just noting a couple of things that still had not been mentioned: Osmand by default uses the tts engine available in the device, mostly google, but users can install own tts engines. Also, osmand offers to download pre-recorded, not tts, voice guidances. El 3 de

One of the prior replies indicated that Osmand uses the Android text to speech subsystem. Therefore, the answer to your question of why the voice changed is: Because Google changed the voice they use as part of the Android OS text to speech system. I.e., Osmand does not supply the voice you

yes I have found that (even though the path was MUCH different). but that is not the voice I heard before. as I can only check it when actually navigating it may take a while, as I don't drive every day. I still would like to know why the speech in osmand changed. I never changed anything as I

Hi! All voices are generated by using the installed Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine. You need to check in the System settings, what software it uses,s and select the needed voice. On Thursday, 3 November 2022 at 15:55:43 UTC+2 Ed f wrote: > since a few weeks, not more than a month, without me

since a few weeks, not more than a month, without me changing anything actively, the standard german announcing voice in osmand has changed, and much to the worse. I was always happy with the previous (which was in every respect so much better than i.e. that from google maps!), but now there is
