Hi @John D , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

I empathize with your disappointment in not being able to utilize the Microsoft Azure free TTS demo. The free TTS demo has been removed from Azure TTS site.

But you can try similarly from speech studio portal: https://speech.microsoft.com/portal

There is no direct equivalent demo, but a mixture of Voice Gallery and Audio Content Creation are relevant. Links to Voice Gallery and Audio Content Creation demos can be found at:

Speech Studio - Voice Gallery (microsoft.com)

Speech Studio - Audio Content Creation (microsoft.com)

I hope this helps.

I see some chrome extension can simulate the same feature, but not sure. AudioTTS is one of it. Have you tried?

r/AZURE on Reddit: Text to speech for personal use?
January 19, 2023 -

I was looking for a text to speech service that had a natural sounding voice for personal use. I saw that Azure has one and it has a voice Jane that is really easy to listen to. I saw there was a very limited demo but there are sites like Naturalreader that use it but they cost 20$ a month. Is there any way to use that voice for free that I could use instead? I'm not making anything professional with it I just want to use it for myself not for anything commercial. Thanks!

How to get Microsoft Azure Text-to-Speech API key - Online Documentation (merkulov.design) For future audience, this is a good article to help you create the Azure API key, once you have created your account. To create an account you need a card or an educational mail, they wont charge you anyway unless you chage your settings. You have to use the FREE F0 one.

VibeVoice: A Frontier Open-Source Text-to-Speech Model
A core innovation of VibeVoice is its use of continuous speech tokenizers (Acoustic and Semantic) operating at an ultra-low frame rate of 7.5 Hz. These tokenizers efficiently preserve audio fidelity while significantly boosting computational efficiency for processing long sequences. VibeVoice employs a next-token diffusion framework, leveraging a Large Language Model (LLM) to understand textual context and dialogue flow, and a diffusion head to generate high-fidelity acoustic details.
