I have found that my Pixel with CalyxOS and microG doesn't have any text to speech engine. So the maps apps work, but with no turn by turn audio.

- commoner 5y agoRHVoice is a free and open source text-to-speech output engine for Android. Try it out: - F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.olga_yakovleva.rhvoice.android/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.olga_yakovleva.rh... - GitHub: https://github.com/RHVoice/RHVoice https://github.com/RHVoice/RHVoice Alternatively, if you prefer Google's closed source text-to-speech engine (that is preinstalled on most commercial Android devices), you can download Speech Services by Google through Aurora Store: - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tts https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and... Instructions for configuring the default text-to-speech engine on Android are here: - https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/6006983 https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/6006... Most navigation apps come with their own voice banks for turn-by-turn navigation audio, and installing a text-to-speech engine isn't necessary for these apps. However, Organic Maps (which is a recommended app in the CalyxOS setup wizard) doesn't, and it relies on the default text-to-speech engine.
- yosito 5y agoThanks! I didn't know about RHVoice. I tried installing a couple others I found through searching F-Droid, but nothing worked. I just installed RHVoice.
