You can change the global default in the language and input options, but apparently, S-Voice doesn't care about that.
It seems it is designed to use just the Samsung TTS engine. You could try removing the Samsung TTS engine with using root, but my guess is it would just not work, then.
Why do you say it must be possible? Have you seen it done?

I can use the pico engine fine with the navigation on G2, but If I change to svox classic engine with svox chinese mandarin setting. the navigation keep showing me that :" For voice guided navigation please install text to speech support from android market." I already bought the voice data and installed it on my sdcard. I can listen to the example but cannot use it in the map and navigation.
Please someone can help me with this issue.
thank you
anyone has any idea about it? I will appreciate your help.
I have found it to be finicky as well. Just play with the settings. First set the default engine to svox, then make sure you set the default voice, disable pico, and hit override app settings.
Hi,
This issue will be resolved in the next update of Svox Classic. It's due to a mismatch in the language identifier for Chinese on the Android platform. Non-chinese Classic voices work fine.

I did everything but still not working, how to disable the pico? thanks
All right this is what I Did, make sure you have svox set as default engine and the language of your choice and make sure you click in voice settings "use my settings" hope that helps.

This is due to naming difference for Mandarin as used by Classic voice and used by Android. Next update of the Classic engine will fix the issue
Anyone know how to get it back? All that is there is Samsung's Voice and it sounds like a robot.
It also has a terrible pause when giving map directions.
Try Ivona from Play. It's better than Google TTS in my opinion.

Ivona is good but Google tts would be free, so how do we get it?
if u r adventurous, u can try extracting the tts from goggle gapps.

i am assuming that u r rooted.
instead of installing the apk, use a root explorer to copy the googletts.apk from the gapps zip file to your device /system/app folder. set the permission to 644. if u r not familiar with permission, check against googleserviceframework.apk. set the same permission.
reboot.
Damn, I'm not rooted!
I need to figure out how to do this, the Samsung lady is driving me crazy!
I strongly dislike the Samsung lady, she sounds horrible.

are you activating text to speech by simply holding down the home button? Im not sure if you can change defualt app, but within a text, google tts pops up
Search in Samsung App Store for SAMSUNG TTS HD (100MB)
I get it for Free and best clear voice

We finally get our real solution now. Google decided to add their tts engine to the play store.

Thank you!! That Samsung crappy voice was driving me crazy.
Ivona voice anyone? Its the best speech engine i have come across.
Hello guys,
i've already asked this same question when i had an HTC Desire HD but nobody could help me. Maybe i'll be more lucky this time.
I hate the default Text-to-speech output voice engine of Android. In italian, it's simply embarassing. In Google Maps it can't spell basic words like "first", "second" or "exit" and it doesn't read the streets' addresses; it simply says "turn right", "turn left" without specifying in which road i should turn.
So, i've installed Ivona Text-to-speech HQ with his italian male voice "Giorgio" and i think it's great. it speaks in a good italian and in Google Maps it even read the streets' names.
But i have a problem: sometimes Google Maps uses Ivona, sometimes it uses the Android default. Sometimes it uses for all the session the default voice, sometimes it keeps switching between the 2 voices (2 sentences said by Ivona, 1 sentence said by the default etc...).
I hate it.
Is there a way i can fix this? I've even tried to freeze Pico-TTS with Titanium, but it doesn't change a thing.
Thank you in advance!
PicoTTS and GoogleTTS are two different things, try to delete both of them and just use Ivona, there is also the option to set which TTS as default in Accessibility.

Thank you, I didn't understood that Pico a GoogleTTS were different things. I'll try to delete/freeze both of theme, hoping it doesn't break anything.
I've setted Ivona as default TTS in the settings, of course, but it doesn't work anyway.

Freezing Pico TTS and Google Text-to-speech Engine seems to work, at least in my first tests.
By the way, i also wrote to the Ivona support and that's what they answered to me. No really useful:
Hello,
Unfortunately this is a Google's mechanism therefore we are not able to fix this issue. Generally the Google Navigation picks the voice with the best responsiveness and that is why Default voice i picked from time to time.
The only thing we can do is to work on the voice performance, hoping this will meet Google's voice pick mechanism.

Uninstalling Google TTS Engine and Pico TTS seems to work.
Sometime the Google engine's voice comes back for a moment (i don't understand how this is possible), but Ivona TTS always gets preferred.
Hi all, how are you.
I wanted to setup Google Assistant's voice as a text-to-speech (TTS) system, it doesn't make sense to me that we have to stay stuck on a very outdated TTS voice when using other Apps. I'm not a developer so I'm hoping someone who is finds this thread and works on it. I believe it shouldn't be very hard, since the wanted code is already on Google App.
I think there are 3 possible ways of achieving this, by making a standalone TTS App (by stripping code from the Google App), by doing something with Tasker (though it's important that the screen could be off, I found ways with Tasker but the screen needs to be on), or by creating a Magisk Module.
Thanks in advance!!
The reason for this is because Google Assistant uses Cloud Services to synthesize the voice. So the default TTS is 100% percent offline so it can't be as good, not a question of being up-to-date or not
(+ The default is Android TTS not Google TTS meaning it's free and not Gapps-Exclusive)

Yes, though if someone could adapt the Google assistant App (or make something of sorts) to make that happen, sending the request to Google, as if I asked "Ok Google, Simon says....." for example.
I don't know if that's possible, but I know for sure I can't make something like it.
