<p>GrapheneOS does not yet include a text-to-speech (TTS) service in the base OS
due to limitations of the available options. Including one is planned in the
future when a suitable option is available. RHVoice and eSpeak NG are both open
source and are the most common choices by GrapheneOS users. Both of these mostly
work fine but have licensing issues and don't support Direct Boot so they cannot
be used before the initial unlock of the device. Installing and setting up either
one of these or another TTS app will get TalkBack working. TalkBack itself
supports Direct Boot and works before the first unlock but it needs to have a TTS
app supporting it in order to do more than playing the activation sound before the
first unlock. After installing a TTS service, you need to select it in the OS
configuration to accept activating it. The OS will display one of them as already
selected, but it won't simply work from being installed as that wouldn't be safe.
This is the same as the stock OS but it comes with one set up already.</p>

fine but have licensing issues. eSpeak NG has added Direct Boot based on our
request for it, meaning it is able to function before the first unlock. RHVoice is
missing Direct Boot and can't run before the first unlock. Installing and setting
