I want to adjust an app for my blind father (self.Blind)
submitted by Aggravating_Toe6760
I don t know if this is the right place to ask, but how can I make the Talkback app say things in my father s language(which is not available) ? Or do you know an app that can let me record the commands? He just wants to enjoy the informations google offers and also call me and the other people in our family.

If he is able to say Okay Google call... He would be able to say your name and the Google assistant would make the call.

What language is it? If there is no other TTS engine for that language ESpeak would be your best option. Search it on Google Play and install it. Then turn the phone language to your father's language and then set ESpeak as the Text to Speech engine TalkBack uses in TalkBack settings. The quality is really poor, but he'll probably get used to it quickly enough.

I suggest checking out Vocalizer Expressive app first to see if it has that particular language. It's a paid app, but the quality is much better than ESpeak.

Talk back and all these pones have many languages I would be very surprised if it doesn’t have your father’s language. What language is it anyway?

Romanian
