@matchboxbananasynergy Something else entirely would be the most common response. I really don't know who said that google's option was the best. I can demonstrate it for you if you like, but the basic idea is this. Give it more than 500 characters and your speech might be gone. or it might not. if it crashes, it might come back. or it might not.
@fireborn That's based on feedback we've received from the blind GrapheneOS user that helps us maintain our fork of Talkback.
Are you aware of other options that could be used on Android? I'm aware that for PCs etc. there must be a load of options.
@matchboxbananasynergy There's RHVoice, which you know of. It's free. Acapella and Vocalizer both exist, but are paid. Both do have a history of working with companies though, so I might be able to help you make contact if there's interest.

@fireborn Thanks, I will check those out.
@matchboxbananasynergy there's also this, but I'm super unclear on what the license is. https://poretsky.github.io/android/smartvoice/
@fireborn I looked but wasn't able to find any source code -- maybe I need to look more into it, though.
@matchboxbananasynergy i wasn't either, but I thought it was FOSS. maybe not, in which case absolutely not.
