Internet browsers such as Chrome or Firefox have a different Text-to-Speech reading bot than Windows or Mac do. I have only found that information about tts on Discord Important Note: TTS follows the default system settings of how Discord is being used. It might be that they haven't got a lot of feed back about this, or they don't want to break functionality for older versions of windows, but it might be worth asking about it. It does however also suggest that there are at least two ways to access the text to speech functionality in Windows, and that Discord is using an older legacy technique to do this. This is understandable but also unfortunate as it's so much easier to work with in most cases.

They are seriously trying to remove as much as possible of the old legacy control panel. The legacy control has probably not been updated to support the new voice packages, and by now I'm not holding my breath waiting for MS to fix this. However none of these are available in the settings available though the legacy Control Panel. In Windows 10 I can install voice packages for different countries, and in the Windows 10 control applet they are all available and can be chosen in order to make the Text-2-Speech work better with a particular language. One of which is accessed via the legacy Control Panel and the other through the Windows 10 control applet (in my case at least, don't know how it works with Win 7 or 8).Īnd that's not the end of it.

Yes, it is a disparity between the option you set in the different settings panels.
