I just found this.

APKs for TTS engines

This is huge!

As a german, I use thorsten medium as he simply made the best dataset.

Mixing english with german, speaking numbers, single letters, pausing without a "." but just a linebreak, all those can be essential.

And... it is nearly perfect! And all local!

This is crazy!

eSpeak can finally go to rest!

eSpeak is a damn good conversation starter. If I fire up my OsmAnd and some german robot with a dutch accent (or is it Kölsch?!) starts giving me directions noone ever not commented on it. Downloading Thorsten Medium right now.
