Latest version talkback crashes on startup

Apps
1

hi
The latest version of talkback was updated about 2 months ago Version TfPu_release_15_1-2024_10_17_0000 (370044211)
The previous version starts and works ok, is there a bug in the compilation process or in the incorrect code, the only error message I get is an error about the service crashing, I am using lineageOS21, android14, fxtec pro1 as my phone

2

adb logcat of the actual crash?

If I understand the log correctly, espeak is the root cause of the problem, is the problem in espeak and not in talkback itself, do I have to download the voices separately to espeak, could the problem be due to espeak not finding the speech voices, is it espeak downloaded from f-droid?

try with SherpaTTS | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository instead of eSpeak

Other TTSs do the same, i.e. talkback crashes, could you tell me based on that log what the problem is, is there a bug in some lineageos java library, so the more correct channel would be lineageos bug reporting. The older version of Talkback starts and works fine

It does not crash for me on AOSP based Android 14 :person_shrugging:

Try to ask your ROM provider maybe
