Talkback doesn't play along nicely with other apps that use TTS with same voice #482

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Some apps provide some speech by directly directly programming to the TTS 
interface of Android. Previous versions of talkback, e.g. the stock version of 
5.1.1 will let those apps speak if Talkback has nothing to say. The current 
version of talkback (4.2 and 4.3Beta) will interrupt speech from these 
programs, especially if the speech of the app is triggered by pressing the 
screen. It looks as if talkback always resets the TTS even when there is no 
need for it.
1. Open a program like GetThere and press back to exit the program
2. The program will try to ask a question followed by a voice prompt, but it 
will fail.
3. suspend talkback and repeat 1 and 2

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the question to be audible, even when talkback is running. In previous 
versions this was the case.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Talkback 4.2 and 4.3.1 Beta 2. They have the same issues.

Please provide any additional information below.
