## Workarounds

You may try this workaround to make RHVoice TTS engine work on LineagOS (a degoogled custom rom) and others.
If you’re having trouble initializing the RHVoice TTS engine on LineageOS or other custom ROMs, try this workaround. RHVoice may not initialize properly and the app may crash, especially if you haven’t used any TTS engine on your phone before (e.g., new installation, factory reset, etc.). If you’re using a custom ROM like LineageOS <ins>without Google Play services and Speech Services by Google</ins>, and you want to use RHVoice as your preferred TTS engine, follow the instructions below as a workaround:

Often, RHVoice doesn't get initialized properly and the app itself might be crashing. Mostly in cases where you haven't used any TTS engine on your phone yet (new installations, etc.)
