"Simpler" or more basic GUI

Hey, 
is there or will there be a "simpler" or more basic GUI for users who just want to punch in some Text and call it a day?

    Are you asking about the Speech Portal for creating custom voices and language models, or just a simple way to try our speech?

    If it is the later,  take a look at the Speech CLI.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/spx-basics?tabs=dockerinstall

    We have both a nuget tool package, and a docker container that are easy to setup.
    It takes longer to get your speech keys setup, that to pull the tool packages and make your first calls to the service via the Speech CLI.

    If this sounds like what you want, let me know and I can reply back with some more detailed instructions and an example or two.

    Thanks,

    Brian.

  • LeonhardBleicher if I understand your question, are you looking for some portal where you can just enter text and voice (along with your cognitive services token) and be able to download the audio file produced?

      yes, at the moment there are alot of settings you can choose from. This can be overwhelming to some users. A broken down version like "Input"->choose Language/Speaker -> GO!" woud be great.

      Just a way to create Speech from Text.
      Thank you.
      I will take a look at it :).

        If you have .NetCore installed, and a speech key, try this.

        dotnet tool install Microsoft.CognitiveServices.Speech.CLI --version 1.15.0
        spx config synthesize @region --set westus2
        spx config synthesize @key --set {YourWestUS2Key}

        spx synthesize --text "Hello, would you like a glass of water?" --voice "en-AU-NatashaNeural" --audio output test.wav

        That will allow you to quickly and easily create audio from your text, with either the standard or one of our pre-made Neural Voices.

        It's not a GUI, but would that work for you?
