Which Voices are available for TTS-Onpremises?

ta 20

Hello, Which Voices are available for an On-Premises hosted Text to Speech Container? I have looked into the Documentation, however there is only the differentation between OfflineNeural, OfflineStandard, OnlineNeural and OnlineStandard:

Are all Voices available in "OfflineNeural" as in "OnlineNeural"? Thanks! :)

Hello @ta

The voices available in the "OfflineNeural" container are the same as the voices available in the "OnlineNeural" container. The difference between the two is that the "OfflineNeural" container is designed to run on-premises, while the "OnlineNeural" container is designed to run in the cloud.

You can find a list of the voices available in the "OfflineNeural" container in the following link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/language-support#neural-voices1

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi @Prrudram-MSFT , thank you so much for the quick answer! I have had an exchange today with the software engineer who deployed the service. He told me that there are only two containers for de-de, see at this link: https://mcr.microsoft.com/product/azure-cognitive-services/speechservices/neural-text-to-speech/tags

Is it possible to get access to the other containers? Thanks!

Hello ta

Happy to help! From what i know, to get access to other containers, you need to fill out and submit the request form to request approval to run the container. You can find the request form at this link https://aka.ms/csgate. Once you have been approved, you can access the containers. Note: Access is limited to Microsoft commercial customers that meet certain requirements which you can see on the above form link.

Would you be so kind to accept an answer and upvote if the above information is helpful for the benefit of the community.

Good Morning @Prrudram-MSFT

Thank you for your help. We were accepted with the form, however there are still just 2 german containers for de-de-Katja und de-de-Konrad. Any chance we could get access to the other containers? Thanks!! :-)

Hello @Prrudram-MSFT

We have successfully followed the provided instructions and gained access to the speech services. However, we were directed to the public Docker Hub (Neural Text to Speech) where we found only two German voices available: Katja and Conrad. We would like to inquire if there is a possibility to utilize the other German voices through an on-premise container, or if they are even available in the first place.

Thank you for your assistance and attention to this matter.

Kind regards,
Philipp
