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.
