Strangeā€¦ I reinstalled it tonight and noticed there were new options for multiple voice types that I donā€™t recall seeing before. This is great as the voice I had before sucked. One thing I did notice though is that though itā€™s set to normal play speed the voice sounds slightly slower than it should be. Maybe by 5% . Enough that it makes it sound irritating and a little stupidifiedā€¦ ---

No. Did you restart the app? That might solve it. ---

Yes I did. Multiple timesā€¦ Makes no difference. Also tried it on several Google home speakers. But all are not working. Any idea what it could be? ---

Which version are you using - 1.4.3? If you run a test flow manually, which error do you get? It also still works fine for me,I hope that Google is not again playing around with it ā€¦ ---

Iā€™ve just tested my Google TTS v1.4.3 it still working fine with my old Google Home mini (1st Gen). @Marcel_Visser if there no change in flow, try check your app version and local network too. ---

Guys, Iā€™m afraid that @denniedegroot is not developing it anymore (he has also no activity on [GitHUB](https://github.com/denniedegroot?tab=overview&from=2022-11-01&to=2022-11-07)) - last commit was made by me and only because I was partially lucky (not a developer). I tried recently to use Google services (which might be the future only way) but seems it is waaaaay to complex to just achieve TTS on Chromecast devices without reworking everything from scratch. I assume @Arie_J_Godschalk would not implement ā€œoldā€ TTS part into his famous Google Services, right Arie ? I mean without need to use or construct URLā€¦ ---
