Looking for a one-time paid (non-subscription) TTS program for android (sh.itjust.works)

Acapella lets me just outright buy a voice and download it for offline use but the voices are somewhat dated now. I don't mind large on device library and I don't mind paying once, but I want it to sound good and I want it to work 100% offline (and privately). Also would like a male voice if possible, I know most people seem to prefer female voices I guess, I've noticed male ones are harder to find.

SherpaTTS is Foss and works offline after downloading voice data

For me with the high models it takes like 20-30 second pauses and if the text is long enough then it just stops completely.

Yes, it can be resource intensive. Use mid models for best performance
