Text to speech erratic after android 4.3 update
I released AnkiDroid 2.0.3 yesterday, it fixes the TTS bug described at https://code.google.com/p/ankidroid/issues/detail?id=1892

Does 2.0.3 fix the problem you described in your question?

Before 2.0.3 the TTS part of AnkiDroid had not changed in a long time, so it must be that TTS changed in Android 4.3.

If anybody has some info about what changed in Android 4.3's TTS it would be extremely appreciated.
