Android Speech Services waiting for network notification

To get rid of the notification that Speech Services (formerly Text-to-Speech engine) is waiting for network, I knew that it would have something to do with downloading only on Wifi etc. But the specific location of the toggle for this component was not in Google Play Store app, but in settings as mentioned at this page - https://www.nextpit.com/how-to-fix-speech-services-waiting-for-network-connection

So, Google app - Profile icon - Settings - Voice - Offline-speech - Auto update tab - (choose update at any time instead of only on Wifi) - and change it back after the update completes :)

I did a device restart to get rid of the notification after the above change, since the language which was reported as waiting for network was not showing any "Update" link when I tap on it.
