How do you change your coach's voice in Android?

HOW TO GET A VOICE THAT MOTIVATES YOU EVEN MORE

Hidden from view, behind your training plans are real coaches, and certified no less: Philippe Propage, Alice Honvault, Dr. Patrick Bacquaert ... these are the people who write the programmes. On the other hand, the voice you hear in your earphones definitely comes from your smartphone!

So that it is not too monotonous and guides you as best as possible, make sure of two things:

1. Check this app is correctly installed on your Android phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tts
It is Google's official voice, which in general is of better quality than the manufacturers. And in any case it is best suited to Decathlon Coach, because we do all our testing with it.

2. Check Google's synthesised voice is correctly configured on your phone:

--> Settings
--> Accessibility
--> Synthesised voice
--> Preferred engine
--> Google synthesised voice

Google's default voice is then installed.

If you want to change the default voice:
--> Settings
--> Accessibility
--> Synthesised voice
--> Click on dial icon on the right-hand side of "Preferred Engine"
--> Install voice data
--> Your language

You'll find here several voices, double click on the voice of your choice to install it. (A voice test will occur, and you'll know if the voice is OK).

You can also adjust the speed and intonation in your Android settings.

You'll really no longer have an excuse to put off doing a session!
