Enable Natural Voice support with built in TTS

Anki Suggestions
1

It’s just a QoL suggestion, but it would be nice to integrate with Microsoft Natural voices, which sound so much better. According to an 1 year old thread: " [Using Microsoft Natural voices with built-in TTS]"

it doesn’t seem like natural voices is supported. If it is already integrated could someone tell me how to do it haha

Oh, that’s a new one, but that’s unfortunate. I do wonder if there is a way to manually download different TTS styles and import them into Anki.

Try this. gexgd0419/NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter: Make Azure natural TTS voices accessible to any SAPI 5-compatible application.

Remember that if you are sharing your deck or otherwise making it available to others, you solution should not work on only one operating system.

If it only works on Microsoft Windows, for example, it will not work on a Mac or a Linux machine, and smart phones are equally precluded.
