Since yesterday , we are no longer seeing any voices for each language with the exception of the Chirp voices. This means we cannot record any new voices or use SSML as that doesnt appear to be supported.

Does anyone know if this is a temporary measure or a permanent one.. This is extremely concerning for us as we use these voices all the time?

Androidx.activity actually doesn't do anything with those APIs and this behavior comes from the framework. Moving it to that component.

Thank you for letting me know. Then which subject should we have instead of Android Public Tracker > App Development > Jetpack (androidx) > Activity ?

Android Public Tracker > Framework is the correct component for framework issues.

1 - If you click on "click me" button in the 1st Activity, 2nd Activity will start with option bundle. 2 - If you search in searchView, button in the 2nd Activity will be gone. 3 - click on device home button and then resume the app again, button in 2nd activity becomes visible which is unexpected. 4 - if you search again, click on device home button and resume the app again, button in the 2nd Activity will be gone as expected. (Unexpected behavior happens just in the 1st search)

We would appreciate any updates on this matter. Our production team has been at a standstill for days now and can't proceed with the Chirp TTS voices.

Is there an update on this issue? The removal the following voices has significantly impacted our ability to create suitable content for our customers:

en-US-Neural-J

en-US-Studio-M
en-US-Polyglot-1
en-US-Neural-C
en-US-Wavenet-C

Please re-enable these voices for text-to-speech UI.

Thanks you.

Hi,

Any updates please? It's been 2 weeks now, and we still haven't heard any updates. We appreciate for any updates. Thank you.

It has been over 2 weeks since this bug occurred. Does Google not intend to return the other voices?

Our production is being severely affected by this bug. Any update you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
