TTS Speech SDK 1.24 - voice gender for male voices reported as "none"

Oxueillirep 131

Hi,

when requesting the gender info as described in https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/python/api/azure-cognitiveservices-speech/azure.cognitiveservices.speech.voiceinfo?view=azure-python I get the following result. Male voices are reported as "None", while female voices are properly reported as "female", this applies to all voices across all languages:

de-AT-IngridNeural SynthesisVoiceGender.Female
de-AT-JonasNeural None

Kindly report this to the product team,
cheers

@Oxueillirep Thanks for reporting this. I think the issue is with the latest version of the SDK where Male voices info is displayed as None.
We will this internally to the team, you can also post an issue on Azure speech SDK repo here.

I have checked the same with the older version of SDK 1.18 and it worked as expected.

Tentatively, early next year. Should be part of the minor release of 1.24.x, will update this thread as soon as we have more information.
