A set of services called Microsoft Azure Speech Studio enables users to create software that can “hear, understand, and even talk” to users.

It offers text-to-speech and speech-to-text functionality in more than 100 languages and dialects, as well as personalized speech models that can deal with accents, background noise, and specialized vocabularies.

Additionally, it provides audio content creation, real-time speech-to-text transcription, and pronunciation evaluation. Additionally, it offers voice assistant features like custom keyword and custom commands that let users voice-control their product.

For users to explore, Speech Studio also provides instructional materials like documentation, quick start guides, Microsoft Q&A, and Microsoft Learn. Users who register with an Azure account receive free access to Speech Studio and a $200 Azure credit.
