Currently its set to the default of google_translate…
I dont own any Google devices… but I do have Echos… and I have the HACS Alexa integration installed and working… should I change this setting?
I’ve find nothing in the instructions…
Thanks in advance…

Do you have any problem with your current tts functionality?

I’m not sure lol
I do know that I used to be able (in a previous installation… I’m recovering from a SD Card failure) to type into a card linked to Alexa media player to send announcements to the targeted Echo… that functionality is “missing”…
How would I test TTS?

I did a quick test…
service: tts.google_translate_say
data:
entity_id: all
message: "May the force be with you."
This causes an announcement across all echos saying that TTS is only available via the notify.alexa_media service
while this works perfectly…
service: notify.alexa_media
data:
data:
type: tts
message: Hello how are you
target: media_player.office_echo
Which makes me think that the line in config is either not needed… or wrong.
If wrong whats the replacement for “google_translate” in the config…

I wouldn’t say it’s wrong but rather that Alexa doesn’t Google
