What’s the best TTS (text-to-speech) app for Android in 2026?

Hello everyone.

Could you please tell me which TTS app is the best for Android?

I’ve tried the most popular ones, but they either don’t work, are 2–3 years old and haven’t been updated, have terrible, poor-quality speech, or have some kind of proprietary anti-feature.

After a clean install of LineageOS, the user doesn’t have TTS, so they need to install it. I’ve tried these ones:

f-droid.org

SherpaTTS | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Text-to-Speech engine based on Next-gen Kaldi

f-droid.org

eSpeak | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Text-to-speech engine for Android. Based on the eSpeak engine.

f-droid.org

RHVoice - a free and open source speech synthesize | F-Droid - Free and Open...

TTS engine with extended languages support (incl. Russian)

I also had a look at the “awesome” list on GitHub awesome-privacy/ at main · pluja/awesome-privacy · GitHub , but I still couldn’t find anything for Android that worked reliably.

I’d be grateful for your advice.
