Ascendo dictionaries use text-to-speech (TTS) for audio pronunciation. Some devices may require that you install TTS files for additional languages. On most devices, you can install these files from Android Settings > Language & input > Text-to-speech output. Other TTS engines are available on Google Play. Some device manufacturers, such Samsung, pre-install more than one TTS engine. Selecting an alternative TTS engine from Android Settings > Language & input > Text-to-speech output may greatly improve the quality of the audio pronunciation.
