help Microsoft Azure TTS (Standard) FAQ
What is Microsoft Azure TTS Standard?
Azure TTS Standard is Microsoft's managed text-to-speech service for turning written text into spoken audio. It provides standard and neural voice options through Azure Speech rather than requiring a local speech engine.
How is Azure TTS Standard billed?
Azure Speech text-to-speech is generally measured by characters processed, with pricing shown per one million characters. The actual charge depends on the voice type, region, account terms, and whether the workload uses standard, neural, or another voice category.
Does Azure TTS Standard support neural voices?
Yes, Azure Speech includes neural voices in its standard text-to-speech offering. Voice and language availability should be checked in Microsoft's current language-support list because the catalogue changes over time.
When should a company choose Azure TTS Standard?
It fits teams already using Azure, Microsoft identity, monitoring, and billing, especially when they need a scalable API. It may be less suitable when the project needs highly custom voice control or a provider outside the Microsoft ecosystem.
