I’m trying to get TTS working on OSM, but I read that you have to have a TTS engine outside of the app. Any recommendations for an FOSS (and private) TTS engine from f-droid?

Not from f-droid, but Piper TTS models are great and performant. You can install the apk and the app requires no permissions. They also have other models other than Piper (eg Coqui). For English, I recommend recommend
vits-piper-en_US-lessac-mediumfor the model.Here is a link to the list of prebuilt APKs: https://k2-fsa.github.io/sherpa/onnx/tts/apk-engine.html

Thanks. So much better than RHVoice.
Thanks for this. Maybe I didn’t have it configured right before but after installing this engine I finally got TTS to work.
