Hi there!

I' coming from a S24 Ultra and I have used a custom backup. After setting up everything in my new S25 Ultra, I notice that it always use Google TTS instead Samsung TTS despite I have selected the Samsung TTS. For example, in a macro from Macrodroid app.

I've tried to uninstall all Samsung downloaded voices and reseting the Accesibility settings but it doesn't work.

Any suggestion before to try reset everything? šŸ˜’

I have exactly the same problem. My device always use Google TTS. When I disable it, it says that TTS couldn't be started. The previous of Samsung TTS works fine, but none app could use it. I hope the next firmware update will fix it.

I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one but we aren't many because I have only heard few cases with this same problem. I get the feeling that Samsung has released OneUI 7 still in beta state.

I have been chatting with a Samsung rep for over an hour, let them look at my device and everything.  I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and my issue is right after updating to OneUI 7.0, the official build, not the beta, while I can download Samsung voices, they only appear at the system level, as in Accessibility > Talkback > Settings > Text-To-Speech, you can download and set new voices here and they work here in this test area, but in any 3rd party apps, I can no longer find any of the Downloaded voices, that the app itself let's you open the same download window to download these voices, to use.  I really liked the United States English Voice 4, and now I can't use it at all.  I have had a few chances to move to a Pixel for over half the cost, but I stayed with Samsung literally for this voice.

Edit: I have been able to listen to the voices that are marked as Samsung in the third party reader apps to discover every single Samsung voice listed is only a copy of the Google voices. The number of voices for each and the sound of each voice sounds the same between the two. So this means that third party apps cannot properly see the Samsung text to speech engine at all.

Thank you for the update. I appreciate being kept informed about this issue, and I hope Samsung support will address this problem with OneUI 7.0 soon.
