Cost of Custom Neural Voice
We are a startup, and we're building a digital assistant. We would love the ability to use a custom neural voice to be able to differentiate and brand our assistant, but my understanding is that the cost of building a custom neural voice is in the $100k range and almost $3,000 just for the endpoint hosting. Is this the case?2/10/21: That's a wrap: Azure Cognitive Services – Speech AMA
