Wanted TTS-Engine with natrual voices – rather privacy-friendly

[hirrov]

I am looking for a TTS-Engine offering natural voice(s) for English, German and French.

Used Custom Roms: Graphene and Calyx, no Google Services installed.

Google’s Speechrecognition works offline for English, but other languages are not supported online, though German or French are shown as downloaded for offline use too.

My questions:

1. Is there any solution to use Google’s Speechrecognition offline for other languages than English?

Or are Google Services mandatory for offline use – but if why not for English to?

2. Has anybody hints for other TTS-Engines offering natural voices for German and French besides English working without having Google Services installed?

TTS means Text to Speech, right? Not the other way around

For TTS we have

• natural voices RHVoice - a free and open source speech synthesize | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
• synthesised eSpeak | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

But, for Speech-to-Text try:

• Sayboard | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
