Text to speech erratic after android 4.3 update I use the app AnkiDroid on my HTC One to learn Italian. It has a text to speech option which, when enabled, reads the text on the flashcards aloud. However, after updating to Android 4.3, this function has become extremely erratic - only 1 of every 20/30 cards is read out (it worked perfectly before the update).

I have also recently bought a Google nexus 7, running Android 4.4.2, and it also has the same issue. Does anybody have any ideas about why this is happening and if possible how I could resolve this?
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.
