1. What is Azure TTS?

Azure Text-to-Speech (TTS) is a cloud-based speech synthesis service offered by Microsoft as part of its Azure Cognitive Services. It uses advanced deep learning models to generate realistic and natural-sounding speech from text. Designed for enterprise-grade applications, Azure TTS enables businesses to create interactive voice experiences, enhance accessibility, and automate customer interactions with high-fidelity voice output.

Azure TTS provides neural voice synthesis, offering near-human pronunciation, tone, and emotion control. This technology is widely used in virtual assistants, automated call centers, media narration, and real-time conversational AI applications.
