I wanted to try out Google's offline TTS in Home Assistant Voice Assistant pipeline. There was no easy way to do this so I ended up creating this Android app. It acts as a Wyoming protocol server, allowing you to use any TTS engine installed on your Android phone or tablet.
This is the first public version. I'd like to hear from you: Are there any others with interest in this? If you are does it work for you? Anything you'd like to change or add in the app?

Very cool idea! I really want to be able to use an old Android phone as a Wyoming satellite. This would be a great addition to that.

Oof. Any error messages? Android version (Settings > About Phone > Android version)? Phone model?
I should probably look into how old devices approximately the app supports.

Okay, I have the same Android version and architecture. That throws out most of my guesses. So you're installing using F-Droid or directly APK? and then what happens? nothing or error? or do you mean you can't find it on F-Droid? (because I can't find it and my F-Droid is giving me F-Droid: not nullable: icon if I try to update the app listing. I hope I didn't cause that.)

well if you have the same issue I do then that is apparently a thing https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/issues/3054 it seems to have been just bad luck that it landed in the same update as the app. I thought it was only me at first since I found the app on two other devices using F-Droid

Can i install it outside fdroid?

Sure! In the F-Droid web page store listing (https://f-droid.org/packages/home.wyoming_android_tts.indigane/) there's a small "Download APK" link or you can go straight to the source to GitHub releases https://github.com/indigane/wyoming-android-tts/releases
They are compatible so you can install from GitHub releases and later update via F-Droid or the other way around. I point this out because this is not the case for all F-Droid apps as F-Droid builds apps from source so they're only compatible with the authors' builds if they use reproducible builds.

It works. Its faster then my piper system.
