Thank you edwardun. Creating my speech resource in the "US West 2" region gives me the complete voice repertoire (standard and neural).

A suggestion: create an awareness of different availability of voices when a speech resource is created so user can make the appropriate choice.

Son_VoBa , I am able to see three voices in our ACC tool.

Can you tell me what browser you are using? And what voice does it show in the list?

  Also, my Pernille-Eskebo.com credential does not work for getting a free trial Azure account. So, I've been using my personal email for the ACC experimentation. Could that be the reason for not seeing the same voices that you could see?

  Hi Son_VoBa , what region is your Speech Resource? Not all regions support Neural TTS. Please check the list here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/regions#standard-and-neural-voices
  
  Can you switch to another region, say, Southeast Asia, and try again?

    It looks like I should have created my Speech Resource in US West 2.
