When I call 86329 to listen, Google's TTS is really easy to understand.

While the wonderful reminder feature's TTS engine is really difficult to understand.

Has anyone implemented the Google TTS engine for rendering reminder text?

@erth64net The problem is that Google TTS works with an AGI script and so does the reminders app. You can't call an AGI script from another AGI script unfortunately so it would take a major rewrite to implement this. Given Google's history of (frequently) breaking TTS, I'm not sure it would be worth the effort. Stay tuned for 2016. Some interesting developments are on the horizon.

Looking forward to hearing about the developments - as the existing male voice is really difficult to understand, but the utility of the reminders app is wonderful.
