Hi @Shashank Srivastava

Thank you for your question on how the Azure Cognitive Speech Service manage disaster recovery. I can help you with that.

Azure Cognitive Speech Service, including Text to Speech (TTS), manages disaster recovery by automatically backing up customer-created data assets such as customized speech models and voice profiles in the respective repositories. In case of a region outage, clients can configure their code to monitor errors and redirect traffic to alternative regions with available Speech resources. For TTS and other custom endpoints, manual failover preparation involves replicating models in secondary regions to ensure seamless switching in case of primary region failure.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
