Thanks rik! I actually installed SherpaTTS last night as fate would have it… but can’t get it to work with OsmAnd (haven’t tried it with other apps yet). But then I couldn’t get OsmAnd to work with RHVoice either… but can’t see any obvious permissions issues or similar?

Hhhmmmm, perhaps I need to try that on my BraX3?
