Cant find region for Azure Speech to Text Voice

Question

Azure Text to Speech service provides default support for the audio length of 10 minutes. Any conversion which is more than 10 minutes, requires the use of long audio API. My issue is that I want to use Romanian voice (Emil) but I am not able to find which region I should use. I am not able to find the region for Romanian voice.

Can you please help?

@Manish Mudgal You can lookup the list of voices available in a region by looking up the voice list API.
In this case a quick lookup of westeurope confirms the voice is available in this region.

    {  
        "Name": "Microsoft Server Speech Text to Speech Voice (ro-RO, EmilNeural)",  
        "DisplayName": "Emil",  
        "LocalName": "Emil",  
        "ShortName": "ro-RO-EmilNeural",  
        "Gender": "Male",  
        "Locale": "ro-RO",  
        "LocaleName": "Romanian (Romania)",  
        "SampleRateHertz": "24000",  
        "VoiceType": "Neural",  
        "Status": "GA"  
    }  

A GET request to the region of your choice should provide the complete list.

https://<region_name>.tts.speech.microsoft.com/cognitiveservices/voices/list  

Use the header key Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key & the key value as your speech resource subscription key.
