I removed the Google Speech engine (robotic voice to give human-like voice to apps) and I looking for a new one in F-droid. I interested in both English and Italian voices.
Any idea?

If you don’t mind it being terribly robotic, eSpeak supports a ton of languages and it’s very lightweight (mainly because the method of synthesis does not require a big database of voice samples).
At first it might be jarring if you are used to natural-sounding voices, but I think it’s possible to get used to it, and some people seem to actually prefer it.
Or you might be able to install MBROLA as a backend for eSpeak which should make it sound more natural, although I’ve never tried doing that in Android, personally (EDIT: it seems MBROLA isn’t yet supported in Android, sadly).
eSpeak seems Frankenstein and doesn’t work with Feeel home workout app. Maybe the issue is in the fitness app. But that voice…an horror movie…
@bkrl @Ferk could be fine for @microg instead of zero voice for f.ex. osmand, when using navigation :( its my biggest annoyance for microg vs. Google services
