What is the best approach to create audio files providing a list of links using Azure Audio Content Creation?

Question

I know how to manually create MP3 audio files from an article using Azure Audio Content Creation tools (text-to-speech). Is there a way to bulk create audio files providing a list of article links using this same tool? It can be using the command line.

Any ideas are welcome. I don't know where to start.

Thanks!

Hi @eera5607 , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Azure Audio Content Creation tool is designed for text-to-speech synthesis without writing any code. The acceptable file formats for Audio Content Creation tool are either plain text or SSML text.

So, it doesn't support bulk creation of audio files from a list of article links directly.
I would recommend you try adding multiple text files and check for the character limitation as well using Azure Audio Content creation.

You can try Azure Speech Service's REST API to convert the extracted text to speech. You can try to automate this process by writing a script that iterates through the extracted text content and sends requests to the Speech Service API.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you require more information.
