Oldest phone: Android 4. Only Talkback installed. Tried install Google TTS from Playstore. Insufficient Storage! Tried a different TTS, but was just a shell for Google TTS! A second one installed the Pico TTS, but only offers playing typed in text and didn't work. "SayIt Read with Ears" is supposed to work with Kindle App. Insufficient Storage. Gave up.
Only has these apps: Musicolet, Jota and Aldiko (Basic). Maybe its memory has gone faulty as Google Gmail & Maps update fails. Used to have Kindle, Barcode Scanner, Viber and others. Only 46M free of 380M. It has a 32 G SD card.

Newest phone: Android 5. Can only turn on speech for entire UI, not usable TTS. Hard to disable Talkback/Speech. Had to disable service!

Not too old phone: Android 7. Had Pico TTS services already installed. No obvious method to enable it separate to entire UI via power button. Possible to preview it in settings. Didn't turn on Accessibility Shortcut as it had no "off" on 5.

I realised I gave away the Android 6 phone and confused it with the old Android 4. Both Sony.

Boyue Likebook Mars T80 (no doubt Meebook P78 is similar): Eink Android 8 Tablet. I enabled Playstore/Google Framework and was able to download and preview Google TTS in Settings. No setting anywhere to enable Accessibility features or TTS. It has KOReader, but couldn't see a setting for TTS. Perhaps one of the Playstore TTS apps would work?

Tablet Android 10: Ability to download speech pack and add a short cut on the three button <| O [-] UI at screen bottom.
Works with Lithium
