    It’ll make the microphone button on your keyboard not work and turn your GPS app mute. Other than that, no bad effects.

      Can you replace it with an OS app like SherpaTTS?

        Yes but I’ve given up on that front. Not important enough for me to research any more.

      I’d also expect it could make Google translate unable to pronounce words.

    I think Duolingo requires it in order to do speaking exercises.

      I don’t use it anyway, so this wouldn’t be this big of a damage.

    I think it’s used for google assistant and the voice digitation, i am not sure tho, but anyway it’s not something that will break Android and you can just reinstall it
