Custom Voice API reference - Azure Cognitive Services

  • Article

This article demonstrates how to call a REST API endpoint for Custom Voice, a service in Azure Cognitive Services suite. Custom voice is a text to speech feature that lets you create a one-of-a-kind, customized, synthetic voice for your applications. With custom voice, you can build a highly natural-sounding voice for your brand or characters by providing human speech samples as training data. There are two scenarios for custom voice: professional and personal. To gain an understanding of each scenario and its data requirements, please read the documents on professional and personal voice.
