Speech SDK

For Speech SDK in sovereign clouds, you need to use "from host / with host" instantiation of SpeechConfig class or --host option of Speech CLI. (You can also use "from endpoint / with endpoint" instantiation and --endpoint Speech CLI option).

SpeechConfig class should be instantiated like this:

var config = SpeechConfig.FromHost(usGovHost, subscriptionKey);

Speech CLI should be used like this (note the --host option):

spx recognize --host "usGovHost" --file myaudio.wav

Replace subscriptionKey with your Speech resource key. Replace usGovHost with the expression matching the required service offering and the region of your subscription from this table:

Region / Service offering Host expression
US Gov Arizona
Speech to text wss://usgovarizona.stt.speech.azure.us
Text to speech https://usgovarizona.tts.speech.azure.us
