What speech engine in substitution of Google one? (lemmy.ml)

I removed the Google Speech engine (robotic voice to give human-like voice to apps) and I looking for a new one in F-droid. I interested in both English and Italian voices.

Any idea?

I use these for various functions

I also have Vosk Keyboard installed, but I think I installed that manually from a link in FlorisBoard.

Dicio is a voice-driven assistant. I think what you asked for was the second item, VoiceNotify. It's not a screen reader, though, just a notification reader. It works well for that. One (or more) of them depends on RHVoice, which provides the engine.

I don't know if any of them provide Italian; I think RHVoice's developers are Russian, since the main default model is Russian. I'm using the english model and out works fine.

Unfortunately RH doesn't have Italian.

You could be part of the solution!
