it's annoying me, probably more than it should mind you, that the SensePlayer can't use third party Android TTS engines.

What annoys me so much about this is that the BrailleSense Six doesn't have this limitation.

@masonasons If it makes you feel any better, I'm so annoyed about it that I haven't bought the thing just for that reason. I would have if that reason didn't exist.

@techsinger valid. I do use it right now mostly for audio.

@masonasons I wouldn't want it for audio, I don't do audio, but I would be dancing in the streets to have a non-phone device running android with buttons. If it were a normal Android device, if it could run TTS like a normal Android device, their sales would have gone up by at least one, Whether they would give a damn is, of course, another thing.

@techsinger Yeah. I do want a fully functional android with buttons. That would be quite awesome.

@masonasons Smartvision? I got one used, and it does work. Navigation with keyboard and keypad is crap, though, and it's definitely not worth the retail price.

@techsinger @masonasons I wish Unihertz would update this phone, but this one has a physical keyboard: https://www.unihertz.com/products/titan-slim?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=6b660c7a5&pr_rec_pid=7691081318639&pr_ref_pid=6948278468798&pr_seq=uniform

@mcourcel @techsinger Anyone know which version of android it uses?

@masonasons @techsinger That one is Android 11. That's why I wish they would update it. But with all Unihertz phones, you can put whatever you want on them.

@mcourcel @masonasons @techsinger Unihertz have announced they'll be coming out with a new qwerty phone sometime soon. I would hold off.

@simon @mcourcel @masonasons I appreciate your letting us know, I hadn't heard that before.

@techsinger @mcourcel @masonasons I follow r/unihertz and lots of people love those Titan phones. I regularly see commenters talking about having all three. I would definitely be curious to pick up a newer phone by them. But also the novelty of buying weird phones is starting to feel less important than the fact that all of those weird phones get 0 Android updates.

@simon @techsinger @masonasons Well, Unihertz did push out an update for their Max just recently. I have yet to see how frequent that will be though.

@mcourcel @techsinger @masonasons That was mostly to fix serious problems with the original software. They did that to avoid a massive influx of refunds. It's not uncommon to have one or two updates shortly after initial release, but even six months in, forget it.

@simon @techsinger @masonasons I agree, but I still like the hardware. Are you getting this info from RedIt or Facebook? I wouldn't mind getting to know more. Did you ever find your Jelly Star by the way?

@mcourcel @techsinger @masonasons I did not, sadly. I get most of my info from Reddit, though I did recently join all the Unihertz groups for the phones I have.

Still not sure if I"ll buy another one. The S10E is a pretty good media player.

@masonasons @mcourcel @techsinger It's about the size of an iPhone 6S, runs really well, has a headphone jack and SD card slot, has 55% more battery than the jelly star. Very little microphone leakage, and really good stereo spekaers and microphones. I dislike the Samsung OS and having to choose between crashy talkback and ancient talkback. I am thinking of installing something custom on it.
