Voice guidance not working when using Samsung phone
Applies to: Beat
If your Beat app doesn't guide you with voice with a Samsung phone even when it's enabled in Beat settings, read on.
In Samsung phones, different Text-to-speech engine might be selected. For the Polar Beat voice guidance to work, Google text-to-speech engine needs to be active. Check the following setting in your Samsung phone:
- Android 8 and newer: Settings -> System -> Language & Input > Text-to-speech options. Change the module from Samsung text-to-speech to Google Text-to-speech engine.
- Android 7 and older: Settings -> Accessibility -> Text-to-speech. Change the TTS engine from Samsung text-to-speech to Google Text-to-speech engine.
After doing this, restart Polar Beat and see if Voice guidance works. If not, reinstall the app and try again.
Great! We’ll let you know as soon as this product is back in stock.
Success! ##
