So right now I have to switch TTS engines manually each time the language of my added articles changes, instead of having the Voice Manager do it automatically (which I find super useful). I'm just trying to figure out if something can be done to make it work with the Voice Manager again.

Or what else could be the problem? I realize that IVONA has been discontinued as an app since 2016 and that is in no way responsible for compatibility issues that come up in newer Android versions, so this is *not* a complaint or bug report. So it seems that IVONA is falsely being detected as damaged by the Voice Manager in my case. " When I turn off the Voice Manager by switching to "Use only the system default voice" and selecting IVONA in the system settings, will use it without issue.
We suggest selecting a different one, or reinstalling this voice correctly. But since the update, when Voice Manager is enabled and the next article in line is English (after a non-English one), will throw an error popup saying "This voice is not working correctly. For German TTS I found Acapela's "Klaus" to be superior to IVONA's "Marlene" in that regard, so it's not because I'm just overly sentimental or anything like that.) IVONA actually still seems to be functional on my Android 7.1 device and I almost never had any issues using it in with the Voice Manager before the v15.1.17 update. For me the most important quality is that I can absorb text content at high speeds without getting my attention strained by sloppy mispronunciations, sound artifacts, or treble spikes. (I'm one of those holdouts who cannot let go of IVONA, because for me the US-English "Kendra" still hasn't been matched in quality by any voice on offer at the alternative TTS engines by Acapela, Cereproc, and others.

The version 15.1.7 app update (Aug 24, three updates ago) contained "a lot of code gymnastics to make the obsolete IVONA TTS voices work in and "Trying to detect and suggest solutions for damaged TTS voices installed on user's device".
IVONA blocked by Voice Manager even though it's functional otherwise
