Speaker Recognition service is generally available (GA) now. Speech SDK APIs are available on C++, C#, Java, and JavaScript. With Speaker Recognition, you can accurately verify and identify speakers by their unique voice characteristics. For more information about this topic, see the documentation.
Personal voice is available in preview in the following regions: West Europe, East US, and South East Asia. With personal voice (preview), you can get AI generated replication of your voice (or users of your application) in a few seconds. You provide a one-minute speech sample as the audio prompt, and then use it to generate speech in any of the more than 90 languages supported across more than 100 locales.
Text to speech avatar converts text into a digital video of a photorealistic human (either a prebuilt avatar or a custom text to speech avatar) speaking with a natural-sounding voice. The text to speech avatar video can be synthesized asynchronously or in real time. Developers can build applications integrated with text to speech avatar through an API, or use a content creation tool on Speech Studio to create video content without coding.
The multilingual voices en-US-JennyMultilingualV2Neural and en-US-RyanMultilingualNeural auto-detect the language of the input text. However, you can still use the element to adjust the speaking language for these voices.
In order to speak in a language other than English, the current implementation of the en-US-JennyMultilingualNeural voice requires that you set the element. We anticipate that during Q4 calendar year 2023, the en-US-JennyMultilingualNeural voice will be updated to speak in the language of the input text without the element. This will be in parity with the en-US-JennyMultilingualV2Neural voice.

Neural text to speech: new speaking style for en-US Aria voice. AriaNeural can sound like a news caster when reading news. The 'newscast-formal' style sounds more serious, while the 'newscast-casual' style is more relaxed and informal. See how to use the speaking styles in SSML.
Custom Voice: a new feature is released to automatically check training data quality. When you upload your data, the system will examine various aspects of your audio and transcript data, and automatically fix or filter issues to improve the quality of the voice model. This covers the volume of your audio, the noise level, the pronunciation accuracy of speech, the alignment of speech with the normalized text, silence in the audio, in addition to the audio and script format.
From the options menu, you can select a language, type of voice (female or male), and tone. Once you've created the perfect narrator for you, all your texts will be read with that voice. Of course, you can always go back to the options menu and adjust the voice again.
The Advanced Controls differentiates this plugin from its younger sibling, the Clarity Vx. The top added functionalities include a Reflections knob that restores a certain amount of the natural voice reflections without adding extra reverb. The Analysis button will process the audio as mono or stereo, achieving better results with the latter. The stereo processing adds a heavier load on the CPU than the Single mode, so bear that in mind.
