Create a project for professional voice

  • Статия

Content for Custom neural voice like data, models, tests, and endpoints are organized into projects in Speech Studio. Each project is specific to a country/region and language, and the gender of the voice you want to create. For example, you might create a project for a female voice for your call center's chat bots that use English in the United States.

Tip

Try Custom neural voice (CNV) Lite to demo and evaluate CNV before investing in professional recordings to create a higher-quality voice.

All it takes to get started are a handful of audio files and the associated transcriptions. See if custom neural voice supports your language and region.

Create a custom neural voice Pro project

To create a custom neural voice Pro project, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to the Speech Studio.

  2. Select the subscription and Speech resource to work with.

    Important

    Custom neural voice training is currently only available in some regions. After your voice model is trained in a supported region, you can copy it to a Speech resource in another region as needed. See footnotes in the regions table for more information.

  3. Select Custom voice > Create a project.

  4. Select Custom neural voice Pro > Next.

  5. Follow the instructions provided by the wizard to create your project.

Select the new project by name or select Go to project. You'll see these menu items in the left panel: Set up voice talent, Prepare training data, Train model, and Deploy model.

Next steps

Add voice talent consent to the professional voice project.

Professional voice projects contain the voice talent consent statement, training datasets, voice models, and endpoints.

Each project is specific to a country/region and language, and the gender of the voice you want to create. For example, you might create a project for a female voice for your call center's chat bots that use English in the United States.

Create a project

To create a professional voice project, use the Projects_Create operation of the custom voice API. Construct the request body according to the following instructions:

  • Set the required kind property to ProfessionalVoice. The kind can't be changed later.
  • Optionally, set the description property for the project description. The project description can be changed later.

Make an HTTP PUT request using the URI as shown in the following Projects_Create example.

  • Replace YourResourceKey with your Speech resource key.
  • Replace YourResourceRegion with your Speech resource region.
  • Replace ProjectId with a project ID of your choice. The case sensitive ID must be unique within your Speech resource. The ID will be used in the project's URI and can't be changed later.
curl -v -X PUT -H "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: YourResourceKey" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "description": "Project description",
  "kind": "ProfessionalVoice"
} '  "https://YourResourceRegion.api.cognitive.microsoft.com/customvoice/projects/ProjectId?api-version=2024-02-01-preview"

You should receive a response body in the following format:

{
  "id": "ProjectId",
  "description": "Project description",
  "kind": "ProfessionalVoice",
  "createdDateTime": "2023-04-01T05:30:00.000Z"
}

You use the project id in subsequent API requests to add voice talent consent and create a training set.

Next steps

Add voice talent consent to the professional voice project.
