Please help someone. I rooted and installed titanium backup and superuser and busy box successfully on my AT&T galaxy s4. Had no problems whatsoever with that process. Went buttery smooth..
However, when I go into my GALLERY or a lot of other options, I automatically have this error pop up which freezes my phone for anywhere from 5 seconds to 30, sometimes having to reboot entirely and it keeps happening no matter what I do. The error says "Unfortunately Samsung Text to Speech Engine has stopped" all I can do is click OK but it keeps happening. I read a post from 2010 with the Galaxy S I believe it was stating there was a similar issue and it involved KIES software but those instructions didn't help me.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how can I correct it? Thank you
Sorry, disregard my post below. I found out how to fix it. I feel like an idiot. Please delete or lock this thread

Do this...
Go into Settings then go into My device then go to Language and input then go to Test-to-speech options and select Google Text-to-speech engine and then remove Samsungs TTS on Titanium Backup and it shouldn't do it as it don't do it on mine no more...
Hope that helps...

If this happens it's probably because you removed ChatON.

EDIT: I actually went into settings-language-text to speech, and chose Google instead of Samsung, and it worked. I also disabled ChatOn and it still works. Hopefully this helps.
OLD REPLY:
They're right. I deleted chaton also butour had a backup I restored. You probably need to put the chaton apk back into the system/app folder, and give it rw-r-r permissions, then reboot and you should be good. I'd use X-plore app to do this
solved it by going to the tts settings and downloading a language to tts
Solved for me as well thx to your advice guys!! Thank you all!!
Another option
I did the exact same thing. Deleted some bloat ware (including chat on) and S Voice stopped working correctly. Kept getting "unfortunately text to speech engine stopped" error. Even though I had a back up on TB I it didn't fix the error message. I tried changing from samsung to google text to speech but then my S Voice didn't work. Finally I just unrooted it (youtube How to Unroot & Unbrick galaxy s4). Very simple and straight forward. It took it back to factory firmware, then I just rooted it again. And now I'm obviously not going to delete chat on. Just thought I'd share for anyone who uses S Voice a lot.
S Voice has stopped Working>> HELP
After rooting my phone with CF Auto root, i then removed some of samsung bloatware that was when i found out that my s voice and s translator are not working. when i click on the application it says unfortunately samsung text to speech has stopped working and later freezes the phone for a while then disappears.

Just load up your firmware file again and it will restore everything back to normal.
How do I do that? Pls be kind to explain

What fixed it for me was a combination of suggested solutions.
- install ChatOn and ChatOn Video and Voice Calling from the Play store
- change Language and Input TTS options to Google
a. Freeze Samsung text to speech with Titanium - this will make all apps use Google TTS instead
or
b. Convert Samsung text to speech to a user app in Titanium - now you can select it again and download HD voice packs to actually use the samsung TTS which sounds really good with the new packs.
- (optionally) uninstall ChatOn and ChatOn Video
Follow this thread in case you want to remove Bloatware the right way.

Thanks! It worked perfectly!

The question on GALLERY locking up was exactly what I was experiencing, and thanks to the posts here, I was able to solve it. Please keep that advice, no matter how simple it might seem to you wiZards.

will you please please help put chaton step by step im new to this and im affraid i will damage my phone. please help
What actually fix my phone was flashing the latest firmware via pc odin. Because I download chaton it didn't work, I did everything mentioned and nothing worked for me. So I freeze samsung tts through titanium backup and kept using Google tts. That will solve it but I prefer samsung tts cos the voice is clear so I flashed my firmware and got all my apps back working.

Another path
Thanks for the posts, it definitely is ChatOn causing the issue. I was able to restore Samsung TTS doing the following
1. Restore ChatOn - requires a reboot
2. Restore Samsung TTS
got it back and avoided unrooting, or attempting reloading firmware.
Hope this helps!
SOLVED
Hi, I have a problem with Google Now. The search doesn't initiate when i say "google". I have to tap the microphone to initiate a voice search. I saw a solution on the Galaxy Nexus forum by disabling or uninstalling Lightflow, but that hasn't worked. I wonder if I'm missing a file or something? It used to work when my phone was stock, however now it's running Axi0m w/ AK kernel, CM GApps. Does anyone have an idea to get this feature working again? Or because I'm on custom ROM am I out of luck? Thanks!!
bump
First, check voice language option in Google Now settings. It has to be set to English (US).
Second, which description do you see in search field? "Search" or "Search, or say Google"?
Okay, the language is set to English (US). The search field says "search". Even after cache wipe and reboot, still says "search".
If you don't have the hotword detection option under google now settings > voice, then go into 'Download offline speech recognition' and download it. Then you should have the option -- enable it if it isn't already.
That's the ticket. It worked! Thank you guys for your help!
Do someone get offline voice recognition working? I tried some files from 4.1, linking them to some folders, but nothing managed to work. Any ideas?

Try this. I haven't tested it yet myself, but supposedly it works.

Edit:
I took the offline voice recognition files from the latest full gapps package and created a flashable zip to install them. You'll need at least 23 MB of free space in the phone's system partition to flash this zip, so you may need to delete ringtones and other stuff you don't use. (You can check how much space is left in /system using Titanium Backup.)
Google search must also be installed (from the play store).
Google voice typing now works offline for me, but I haven't tested Google Now (which I don't use anyway).
For an alternative installation method that doesn't take up space in the system partition, see the aforementioned post by overclockthesun, who also gives some tips on how to get "OK Google" working.
DISCLAIMER: this is not my work, all credits goes to Jenkins (creator of android N-ify)
Pre-requisite:
Having exposed running on your device.
Steps:
1- download and install this Google app (beta) here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...gle-app-6-6-14-21-arm64-android-apk-download/
2- download and install the latest Android N-ify module (#697) here: https://ci.paphonb.xyz/jenkins/job/AndroidN-ify/
3- once you install them both, activate the module and wipe data and cache of the google app.
4- give permissions to google app. (Don't open it yet)
5- reboot.
And you now have google assistant.
If you can't access google assistant by holding on home button, go to settings--->apps--->advanced--->default apps--->assist and voice input, and then choose google app.
What's the point of making a thread specific to our phone for someone else's work that applies to all MM devices...?
I just shared, that's it
OK Google detection doesn't work properly. I tried using the the original thread's suggestion of training the voice model, then changing the buildprop.
Anyone have any ideas?

what an A-Hole you are. The guy is just sharing something. I would have never known about this unless he posted this and I need this.
I can't enable Ok Google from Google App > Settings > Voice Match, it is greyed out. After I click on it I get a loading screen and a "Problem while connecting" error in a few seconds. I haven't been able to train voice from Google assistant too, whenever I enable assistant and click "Get started", it gives me the exact same error.
I had flashing this ROM with pico gapps at first. Some people have gotten this fixed by flashing nano gapps, but it didn't make any difference for me. Have tried a lot of common fixes - using quite a few old Google app versions, installing Google as system/priv app, changing language to English (US) (I use English (India)), etc.
Please help me out, I needed this functionality very much. Help much appreciated.
