MRA is only speaking with French accent??

[Stephane 30]

For some reason MRA is now only speaking with a French accent to me. The audio settings are Google.android.tts and English UK voice. No matter what voice I set I can only hear a french voice trying to speak English.
Had anyone had that problem and how can I fix it?

I think you are experiencing a known issue. https://forum.myrouteapp.com/topic/9070/audio-language-change-not-takling-effect/10

@Makro I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this strange issue. Fortunately I have Acapela TTS Voices installed on my phone - good, clear voices and much louder than Google TTS.
I just wanted to try the Google voices again to see if the volume issue has been solved, but now it only speaks French, and my French is not good enough.

Haven't heard of them before. Interesting.

Have you tried changing English voices? Some of them might work for you.

I have tried again using MRA with the Google TTS, but MRA will still only speak English with a French voice. No matter what I set. My Android is now on version 16 but no changes. Any other app I use with voice output is speaking English with English accent.

It's difficult to believe that I'm the only one with that problem!?

I'm using the latest MRA version 4.4.0 400

Hi @Stephane-30

I had a similar issue last year where I could not select/change the voice option, it was stuck with a nasally american accent
I could see lots of other voice accent options but none of them could be selected & would stick, it always reverted to the american accent
In the end to resolve the issue I had to completely uninstall the google TTS voice & reset it all up again from scratch

@Stephane-30, did you by any chance choose the voice "René"?

@Stephane-30 you got "Allo allo" vibes?

[Stephane 30]

@Con-Hennekens NO of course not! I've selected Yvette. No wonder I get this French sexy accent.

[Stephane 30]

Okay, I had to wipe my whole phone because of a defective screen (phone was on guarantee and it was fixed for free). After reinstalling the whole stuff again Google TTS voice is back to English (and now I'm starting to miss Yvette ;-).
Issue solved.

@Stephane-30 Oh no, great that you have the voice fixed but no more instructions to turn right by the picture of The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies

Me too, but I fear that today’s woke society won’t allow any new TV shows like this to be made.
