Text to Speech Language option

Maverick

I have both Brazilian Portuguese and English text to speech voices on my Windows (10). But I like to use discord on English, but doing that, it means that the Text to Speech will also be in English.
Basically what I want is an option to select the Text to Speech language separate to the language setting on Discord.
(changing the text to speech on windows settings and/or control panel doesn't do anything, discord uses the TTS based on the language you select for the discord.)

    And this is still a problem. Like I wrote in another thread about this Discord appears to be using an old legacy api for TTS.

    Windows 10 has two places to set the voice used for TTS, one in the Win10 control applet and one accessed through the legacy Control Panel. These are not synchronized as I've got Windows 10 set to use a Swedish TTS package while this isn't even listed as an option in the legacy Control Panel dialogue. There it's set to use Zira. The only choices I get are Zira or David, no other is visible in this dialogue. Discord will use whatever I chose here while other software I've tested uses the one I select in the Win10 control applet.

    Is there a solution to this issue yet ?
    Basically I would like to be able to specify a language per server for TTS.
    Most of the servers I am in are in English, which works fine.
    Being french, I dread messages in french because Discord reads the messages as if it were English, which is a torture.
    as for messages in cyrrilic script, they are just ignored by TTS.

    To the best of my knowledge, no, it's still as much of a problem as it was seven months ago. And I know your pain. Having Swedish messages read as it they were English is only good for a laugh. Sometimes I can guess what it was supposed to be but most of the time they are totally unintelligible. Still has it enabled for one user as it is an easy way to hear when he is is writing something even if I can't understand what he is trying to say.
