Speech service return error 1006

Question

Trying to use Speech service (TextToSpeech)
Getting error:

Unable to contact server. StatusCode: 1006, undefined Reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND en-us.tts.speech.microsoft.com

The code I ran is:

const sdk = require("microsoft-cognitiveservices-speech-sdk");
const fs = require("fs");

function synthesizeSpeech() {
    const speechConfig = sdk.SpeechConfig.fromSubscription("348b6847f8ae46adb1116484514081f6", "en-US");
    const audioConfig = sdk.AudioConfig.fromAudioFileOutput("./path-to-file.wav");

    const synthesizer = new sdk.SpeechSynthesizer(speechConfig, audioConfig);
    console.log("starting")
    synthesizer.speakTextAsync(
        "this is a test.",
        result => {
            console.log("Start synthesizer")
            synthesizer.close();
            if (result) {
                // return result as stream
                return fs.createReadStream("./path-to-file.wav");
            }
            console.log(result.resultId);
            console.log(result.errorDetails)
        },
        error => {
            console.log(error);
            console.log(error);
            synthesizer.close();
        });
}

synthesizeSpeech();

Not sure what is wrong (my azure have billing and everything)

@XDavidT Thanks for the details. The format for the endpoint is {region}.tts.speech.microsoft.com. "en-us" is a locale, not a region. Please use the valid regions include westus, northeurope, etc.

Use
const speechConfig = sdk.SpeechConfig.fromSubscription("<my-key>", "westus");

for a westus key. For a list of regions see here.
