Voice Support 2

To improve Speech to text recognition accuracy, customization is available for some languages and base models. Depending on the locale, you can upload audio + human-labeled transcripts, plain text, structured text, and pronunciation data. By default, plain text customization is supported for all available base models. To learn more about customization, see custom speech.
5 The OpenAI text to speech voices in Azure AI Speech are in public preview and only available in North Central US (northcentralus) and Sweden Central (swedencentral). Locales not listed for OpenAI voices aren't supported. For information about additional differences between OpenAI text to speech voices and Azure AI Speech text to speech voices, see OpenAI text to speech voices.
Multilingual voices can support more languages. This expansion enhances your ability to express content in various languages, to overcome language barriers and foster a more inclusive global communication environment.
2 The neural voice is a multilingual voice in Azure AI Speech. All multilingual voices can speak in the auto-detected language of the input text in the default locale without using SSML. However, you can still use the element to adjust the speaking accent of each language to set preferred accent such as British accent (en-GB) for English.

In some cases, you can adjust the speaking style to express different emotions like cheerfulness, empathy, and calm. All prebuilt voices with speaking styles and multi-style custom voices support style degree adjustment. You can optimize the voice for different scenarios like customer service, newscast, and voice assistant. With roles, the same voice can act as a different age and gender.
Custom neural voice lets you create synthetic voices that are rich in speaking styles. You can create a unique brand voice in multiple languages and styles by using a small set of recording data. Multi-style custom neural voices support style degree adjustment. There are two custom neural voice (CNV) project types: CNV Pro and CNV Lite (preview).
With the cross-lingual feature, you can transfer your custom neural voice model to speak a second language. For example, with the zh-CN data, you can create a voice that speaks en-AU or any of the languages with Cross-lingual support. For the cross-lingual feature, we categorize locales into two tiers: one includes source languages that support the cross-lingual feature, and the other tier comprises locales designated as target languages for cross-lingual transfer. Within the following table, distinguish locales that function as both cross-lingual sources and targets and locales eligible solely as the target locale for cross-lingual transfer.
The table in this section summarizes the 33 locales supported for pronunciation assessment, and each language is available on all Speech to text regions. Latest update extends support from English to 32 more languages and quality enhancements to existing features, including accuracy, fluency and miscue assessment. You should specify the language that you're learning or practicing improving pronunciation. The default language is set as en-US. If you know your target learning language, set the locale accordingly. For example, if you're learning British English, you should specify the language as en-GB. If you're teaching a broader language, such as Spanish, and are uncertain about which locale to select, you can run various accent models (es-ES, es-MX) to determine the one that achieves the highest score to suit your specific scenario. If you're interested in languages not listed in the following table, fill out this intake form for further assistance.
The table in this section summarizes the locales supported for Speech translation. Speech translation supports different languages for speech to speech and speech to text translation. The available target languages depend on whether the translation target is speech or text.
To set the input speech recognition language, specify the full locale with a dash (-) separator. See the speech to text language table. All languages are supported except jv-ID and wuu-CN. The default language is en-US if you don't specify a language.
To set the translation target language, with few exceptions you only specify the language code that precedes the locale dash (-) separator. For example, use es for Spanish (Spain) instead of es-ES. See the speech translation target language table below. The default language is en if you don't specify a language.
The table in this section summarizes the locales supported for Speaker recognition. Speaker recognition is mostly language agnostic. The universal model for text-independent speaker recognition combines various data sources from multiple languages. We tuned and evaluated the model on these languages and locales. For more information on speaker recognition, see the overview.

ETCs with designations to the Lifeline and High Cost programs are not required to offer Lifeline-supported broadband services in their designated service areas where they receive High Cost program frozen support if they avail themselves of forbearance from the FCC.
Service providers do not need to provide Lifeline-supported broadband service if they complete the forbearance process described in the Lifeline Modernization Order. Service providers that avail themselves of forbearance relief may still elect to offer and receive reimbursement for providing Lifeline-supported BIAS in Census blocks where they have availed themselves of forbearance relief.
Current Lifeline-only ETCs may avail themselves of the forbearance of their obligation to offer broadband service and provide voice service by notifying the FCC 30 days after they receive their ETC designation.
Current ETCs designated to receive High Cost program support may avail themselves of the forbearance from their obligation to offer broadband service, except where they offer qualifying BIAS pursuant to their High Cost public interest obligations.
- They may continue providing voice service in certain areas by notifying the FCC 30 days after they receive their ETC designation, or if there is a qualifying change to their high-cost support for a specific area.
- A qualifying change includes situations where the high-cost support term ends, and the service provider does not receive another form of high-cost support for that area, or there is a determination that high-cost support is no longer available for a particular Census block.
- ETCs receiving high-cost support are not eligible for forbearance from the Lifeline-broadband obligation in Census blocks where they are subject to high-cost public interest broadband obligations but do not yet commercially offer BIAS with speeds of at least 4/1 Mbps or greater.
ETCs that only receive High Cost program frozen support or one-time Phase I high-cost support (i.e., incremental, Mobility Fund, or Tribal Mobility) are not subject to the Lifeline program broadband service obligations where they receive the frozen support or one-time Phase I high-cost support. However, they must submit a forbearance notification to avail themselves of this relief.
To elect forbearance relief, submit notice to the FCC and to USAC within 30 days of receiving ETC designation as a Lifeline service provider in that area or a qualifying change to the high-cost support, whichever is later.
Connected Voice offers all the features of traditional telephone (like caller ID, call waiting, voicemail, anonymous call block, etc.), plus more advanced features not available with most traditional telephone services, including mobility, voicemail to email, and email notifications.
Most residential customers find the Basic service is a good fit. Basic service provides one phone number. Many small business customers choose the Professional service, which provides additional numbers and features.
If you are a current customer with prepaid internet and you order online, you'll get an email with a link to the Connected Voice activation portal. There you'll be able to request your new number. You'll receive that number within minutes.
