RHVoice. I am blind and rely on the TalkBack screen reader a lot and this is the synthesizer I use.

Oh, I see your point. But generally, I tend to trust the developer isn’t going to put out a binary that is different from the source code they publish. My chain of trust would be, fdroid, being the best, the developer, binary directly, being second, and open source, and then something like Google Play with closed source crapware.

From what I understand Izzy takes the builds directly from the applications git repository.

Fossify Contacts (Manage your contacts privately and efficiently with vCard support) https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fossify.contacts/

Edit: Oh, interesting. That link throws a 404. But it shows as being available via IzzyOnDroid.

I thought i saw fossify contacts was released too

Install fdroid basic, droidify, etc and use that to update apps. Your old apps will require one manual update to tell the system that the new client is handling the updates but after that the app will start auto updating. So its a pain but could be worse

I assume fossify will release their versions of those soon enough. I believe fdroid disabled updates to the simple apps to avoid anything being added that isnt open source so they should be fine untill the fossify replacements are ready
