TTS-Action state "Language not installed" - but it is... !

[Bierset]

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

Hi,

Just recently someone else had this issue too and fixed it by reinstalling a recent backup on the device. Uninstalling and reinstalling the TTS data did not help. I assume it is caused by some corrupt data on the device or a buggy TTS engine but I was not yet able to reproduce it on any of my devices so I'm not sure.
I will add an option to not show dialog again when at least some TTS languages are available.

Thanks & Regards,
Martin

I have had this problem also with Alcatel x'pop, android 4.1 stock. I just ignore the list of possible loads and it works fine by just exiting the screen.

This should be fixed in the next update.
