From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know I can use Google's voice typing in Google Docs but is there a more convenient, system-wide options available?

Wow. Nice. Any TTS for android? I don't like google services so i'm still missing something that can for example read back directions from Osmand. It needs to speak german, though. And english of course.

I don't know, isn't TTS an AOSP feature in Android? As in, a foss part rather than a proprietary Google thing? Look into what alternatives like Graphene do about this.

Yeah. I have GrapheneOS. TTS isn't in ASOP. It is in the additional proprietary google stuff I didn't install. I believe many people on Graphene just install this.
