Speech output not working

[DavDav87]

Hello, my long time used flow suddenly doesn't work anymore. I have a speech output action when my phone's charge hits 80%. But it's not working anymore, although it has for many months. The flow is permanent red in the menu. The only thing that works is stopping the Automagic service and start it again. What could be the problem?
I am using a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge with Android 8.

Hi,

I recommend to restart the device once and then try again. If the problem persists, go to the 'Text-to-speech' system setting and delete the downloaded voice and download the voice data again.
There was some internal error in the Text-to-speech app recently that caused all kind of strange problems. Maybe your issue is caused by the same bug.

@Martin : I also have experience rare occassion where the speech output or input speech just got stuck there. Stopping automagic service and starting it again will cure the problem. I still haven't got any idea why it happens, because it is so random that I don't know how to reproduce the error.

OK, please let Automagic run with Debug log and Write log to file and send the logs to me once this happens again. I fear that it could be difficult to pin down the cause of the issue. Maybe a system bug report would also help but let's start with the log to see if I can find something.
