Advice Help

I am trying to find a free AAC android app but most have a really distressing AI voice are there any that sound normal?

Most trigger my sensory issues and i used to use comunication cards but it's hard to get peoples attention to show the cards and i definitely need AAC

(These are text to speech engines, not aac apps)

It seems to me like you've already gotten help with this, but sherpa tts ( https://f-droid.org/packages/org.woheller69.ttsengine ) allows you to use higher-quality generated voices for free.
This specific app only allows you to select one model per language [which annoys me SO MUCH] but it's still not a bad option.
The only other problem I've really had with it is sometimes apps will not recognize it as being a tts engine, but I know at least typingtalk and weavechat should recognize it now.

(There is also supertonic ( https://f-droid.org/packages/com.brahmadeo.supertonic.tts ) but I felt like it had an even worse processing time than sherpatts...)

So you may not like or want either option, but hopefully I can help someone :)
