Azure Neural TTS

3 Steps

1. 1

   Set up Azure AI Speech Resource: Create an Azure AI Speech resource in the Azure portal. You'll need a subscription and choose a pricing tier. Note the resource's key and region; you'll need them later.

2. 2

   Install the Speech SDK: Install the Microsoft Cognitive Services Speech SDK for your preferred language (Python, C#, Java, etc.). Use pip for Python: `pip install azure-cognitiveservices-speech`

3. 3

   Synthesize Text to Speech: Write code to synthesize text using the Speech SDK. Replace `<your_subscription_key>` and `<your_region>` with your Azure AI Speech resource credentials. Adjust the `ssml_string` to modify the voice and speech characteristics.
