Hi. Thanks for that! I did switch text-to-speech engines but that didn't make
any difference so I will try your suggestion.

Hi Saqib,

I don't suspect Talkback, I think it may be your text to speech engine.
Have you updated Google TTS lately?

You will for sure need sighted help, but:-

1. Go into Text To Speech Settings, either from the global context menu, or
from Settings, Accessibility.

2. Find Google TTS and select Text To Speech Settings.

3. Select Install Voice Data.

4. Select English United Kingdom.

Now where it says Male and Female, select Download, as it may have been
cleared with a TTS update. Choose the one you want. So if you click
Download on Male, it will download and within a few seconds, you'll have a
talking tablet again. If it doesn't talk, restart the device.

It's only because you didn't keep the text to speech engine up to date.
It's a shame Google don't have a rescue plan for this, but they don't.

I hope this helps.

All the best

Subject: [access-uk] Talkback crashing on my Nexus nine

Hi. Since the latest update to talk back! I'm no longer getting speech on my
Nexus nine and Talkback is running without the speech. How do I get the
speech back without sighted assistance? This problem is well-known as I have
heard of lots of people complaining about the new update after two years of
using android! I'm getting very impatient and I'm at the end of my tether
with the operating system and the lack of progress that talkback has made.
