TTS-Action state "Language not installed" - but it is... !
Posted: 07 Sep 2013 16:14
Hello,
I am very happy using Automagic, a tool I have searched for a long time !
But... using Automagic 1.18, I have a rather strange phenomenon (I wouldn't call it a bug so far
): I am using a Xperia J with Android 4.1.2 (German edition).
Whenever I'm creating a flow with a Text-To-Speech action in it ("Sprachausgabe" as it is called on my device), I get a poup telling me "TTS Data is missing" with the info, that the necessary data for TTS is not installed. After taping "OK", I get forwarded to the TTS-section of the device => where "German" is stated as "Installed" and the only option for me left is "deleting" this language. In this dialog, one can only install additional languages, such as Spanish or French, in which I don’t see any sense in doing
.
Well, leaving this dialog with the "back" button, brings me back to the TTS-action in my flow, where I now can enter the desired text ... which is read perfectly by the device (yes, in German).
I wouldn't call it a bug, as I can use the TTS-action just fine, but always (!) getting the "not installed" popup jumping forth and back into the TTS settings is ... annoying.
Is it a Xperia related behavior ?
Thank you
Bierset
