LUN-225: Handling of missing tts-engine

[jira-to-github-migrator]

Stefanie Metzger - 1.12.2021, 11:10:59

The app has an audio player, which plays the audio of a word, but if there is

a) no audio file provided

b) an alternative solution entered, which never has an audio file

a text-to-speach-engine is used to read out the word.

Some smartphone don't have a tts-engine installed and therefore reading out the word is not working. 

Current behaviour: The user gets prompted a message to install the tts-enigne every time one of the situations above occur.

 

Thoughts of a better solution:

User only gets prompted to install the engine once, afterwords the button is disabled

User only gets prompted to install the engine once, afterwords the button is disabled with a hint on click or something?

 

What other solutions are thinkable? Which give the best user experience?

Is this really the current behavior, as I haven't experienced
it so far: "Current behaviour: The user gets prompted a message to install the tts-enigne every time one of the situations above occur."

Maybe you have an tts engine installed? This also only happens if there is no audio file.

I guess this is only a ux question right? Maybe we can upload a video on how it is not working to this ticket to give some context :)

I think on android there is almost always a tts engine installed. Therefore, no worries if you can't reproduce it.
