Azure Cognitive Speech TTS : Is the free tier included in standard

Question

I would like to get a clarification about Azure Cognitive Speech TTS cost calculation.

There is different for >Tier TTS usage : Free, Pay as you Go, Commitment.

I would like to know if you are using the Commitment - standard tier, do you get the free tier part included ( 500k character per month ). It is not clear.

I know that Google and amazon are offereing it.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hello @Dupont-Viel, Jean-François !

Welcome to Microsoft QnA!

There is not a document saying that

When you select the Standard Tier you pay for that Tier based on pricing

Have a look also on Azure Pricing Calculator

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/
