Samsung TTS is now limited, with a lot of pottential and neural voices, we want the openness!

[users0UOuyx9hP]

On Android15, we have an issue with SamsungTTS.
SamsungTTS can only be used with Samsung's version of TalkBack and, perhaps, the other Samsung apps. The new neural voices are getting better and better, power of phones is increasing, yet we can't use them in other text to speech apps, such as third party screen reading software, reading apps and the like.
Since this new modification is only happening on Android15, not on Android14 with the latest versions of Samsung TTS, I personally don't understand why this artificial limitation has been introduced, but it's definitely not welcome.
Samsung TTS voices are amazing and, therefore, need their openness back and to be used across all the text to speech demmanding applications across the phone.
If possible, Samsung is asked, by us users, to revert this behaviour.
Thanks for the read and best regards!

Error report feedback submitted. Let's hope this accessibility compliance regression is resolved quickly.

I guess more people need to submit this feedback. I reported it back in December during the first one you i7 beta. It goes without saying, but I agree it needs to be addressed.

I just did after having to install the Samsung members app, which funny enough did not automatically install on a Samsung device...
