    It’ll make the microphone button on your keyboard not work and turn your GPS app mute. Other than that, no bad effects.

      Can you replace it with an OS app like SherpaTTS?

        Yes but I’ve given up on that front. Not important enough for me to research any more.

            The repo links to this to test models: https://huggingface.co/spaces/k2-fsa/text-to-speech And there is a glados one listed there (at least in english and german)

      I’d also expect it could make Google translate unable to pronounce words.

    I think it’s used for google assistant and the voice digitation, i am not sure tho, but anyway it’s not something that will break Android and you can just reinstall it

    I think Duolingo requires it in order to do speaking exercises.

      I don’t use it anyway, so this wouldn’t be this big of a damage.

    Yes you can. Enable USB debugging and do this adb command: adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.tts

    And if you want to restore it: adb shell cmd package install-existing --user 0 com.google.android.tts
