How can I resolve the issue of multilingual voices pronouncing Ukrainian as Russian when using Text to Speech with the Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech package in C#?
Explicitly specifying the language in the code through the SpeechSynthesisLanguage config parameter does not work. Specifying purely Ukrainian voices works fine (of cource it would). If I try multilingual voices directly in Speech Studio everything works fine there.
I'm using version 1.37.0 of the Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech package.

.
I see that you are already using most recent version of the
**Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech**package..
Action Plan:
- Could you please update your code to try with SSML instead and check if that helps?
- Please check with
en-US-AndrewMultilingualNeuralvoice and check ?
.
You can try with the below SSML script which has both the
uk-UAandru-RUlocale added:<speak xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/synthesis" xmlns:mstts="http://www.w3.org/2001/mstts" xmlns:emo="http://www.w3.org/2009/10/emotionml" version="1.0" xml:lang="en-US"> <voice name='en-US-AndrewMultilingualNeural'> <lang xml:lang='uk-UA'>Це прекрасний день.</lang> <lang xml:lang='ru-RU'>Это прекрасный день.</lang> </voice> </speak>.
Awaiting your reply.
