TTS stopped working?

[Snowcrest]

The tts function in app stopped working for me since Tuesday. 

All you get is a brief (1s) static sound and then silence.

Have tried changing pitch, rate & voice to no avail.

Don't believe it is a problem with my phones innate voice engine as all my other apps that use voice engines function perfectly normal.

Odd. Can you please provide the following so I can look into this?

• Device Type (iOS/Android)
• OS Version
• App Version
• The novels/chapters this is occurring on.
• The selected TTS voice

Did a bit of troubleshooting myself, uninstalling and reinstalling every component (wuxiaworld app, voice engines, individual voices) and managed a fix. 

I speculate one of the Samsung TTS voices (en-US-SMTI05) was corrupted specifically for wuxiaworld app (despite it working on all my other apps) as it was my preferred voice of choice. And that corruption somehow made it so that I either I couldn't switch away from it or prevented any other voice from playing. Since reinstalling that specific voice, I've been able to use TTS perfectly. 

That said, while I was tinkering around with all my TTS settings, I found a new favorite voice that wouldn't display on the wuxiaworld app. Wuxiaworld app only imports or displays google speech engine voices from English (US), and English (UK) voices do not appear despite being installed on my phone. Is there any way to pull in English (UK) voices (en-gb-x-gbg) as well?
