Text-To-Speech Reset vs Factory Reset
Resetting the Text-to-speech settings only affects the language and input settings, particularly TTS and therefore does not affect any saved information from the internal storage including downloaded apps, saved contacts, documents and other user data. That said, performing this reset does not require backup creation beforehand. Rest assured, no important user data will be deleted in the process so expect all your files and apps to stay where they are subsequently.
And that’s how you reset the Google Pixel 7’s text-to-speech output settings.
