Thank you for your reply. May I ask if you can help provide the specific settings for each sound effect on the Xiaoxiao Multilingual official website? If we fine tune it ourselves, it may take a lot of time and it may be difficult to achieve accurate results

Hi @haixuan xiao,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide the exact SSML settings (such as pitch, rate, and volume) used for each sound effect or voice customization on the official Xiaoxiao Multilingual website. To replicate the sound effects seen on the Xiaoxiao Multilingual, you would need to experiment with SSML configurations manually.

Please look into: Customize voice and sound with SSML.

I hope you understand! Thank you.

Hi @haixuan xiao,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum!

When using Xiaoxiao Multilingual with the Azure AI Speech API and not achieving the same effect as on the official website, make sure to configure the API call correctly. First, ensure that you're using SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) to fine-tune the speech with specific settings like pitch, rate, and volume. Set the correct voice name and locale for Xiaoxiao, it would be something like voice name="zh-CN-XiaoxiaoMultilingualNeural". Also, apply any available speaking styles (e.g., "exited" or "story") in SSML to match the effects shown on the website.

Finally, ensure you're using the latest API version and that the voice is available in your region. These configurations should help you achieve the desired output.

I hope you understand. Thank you.
