As of the last update yesterday (12 Feb.) Google Text to Speech Engine has prevented setting a UK English male voice. It reverts to a Female voice which I find less clear to understand. I suspect this is a bug introduced in the Google Text to Speech app in the latest updated version. Now called “Speech Services by Google” it has this bug not seen for the last 3 to 4 years in this app! PLEASE FIX THIS MOST ANNOYING BUG!
