No. Speech dispatcher takes as input the text sent by screen readers like orca or fenrir or speechd-up or speechd-el or emacspeak and send it to a speech synthesizer (like espeak-ng, pico, flite rhvoice or voxin). The speech synthesizer converts this text to phonemes then convert them to an audio file using one of the voices it handles. This audio file (the speech) is sent back to speech dispatcher, which in turn send it to an audio application like pulse-audio or alsa or pipewire, that send it to an audio device. So what hear actually depends not on speech dispatcher but on the speech synthesizer you use and the voice you select among those it handles. For instance if on the console you use fenrir as screen reader and espeak-ng as speech synthesizer and one of its voices, you will hear exactly the same voice if in the preferences GUI of Orca (another screen reader) you select the same speech synthesizer (espeak-ng) and the same voice. Similarly if you use fenrir with rhvoice as speech synthesizer and one of its voices, you can also use rhvoice and hear the same voice when using Orca.
