Only Expeak NG is working on recent android versions. But the build on f-droid does not contain languages, neside English... So the only way to install and use espeak for other than English is to download it from github releases.

Working version: https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/releases

The one on F-droid worked for me without issue

NG or the old? Which Android version are you on?

I tried the old version on Android 13. With NG I had the same problem as in the Github issue

I'm on Lineage os (android 13) and I am using the new version of espeak. For me it worked after installing it.

Strange. For me the fdroid NG didn't contain any languages, it started, I could set it as the TTS engine, but no sound came from it. Maybe device language also matter?

Possibly. I don't speak anything but English so I couldn't say
