Introduction to Azure Custom Speech Service
Azure Custom Speech Service offers a powerful solution that allows your applications to convert audio to text, perform speech translation, and transform text into speech. With support in multiple regions, this service provides unique endpoints for both the Speech SDK and REST APIs, enhancing the flexibility and reach of your speech-related functionalities.
Region-Specific Considerations
When utilizing the Speech SDK with Azure Custom Speech Service, it is essential to note that you need to specify the region identifier, like 'westus,' when creating a SpeechConfig. Ensuring that the region aligns with your subscription is crucial for seamless integration. For applications leveraging the Speech service REST APIs, the region forms part of the endpoint URI for request handling.
Regional Key Validity
Keys generated for a specific region within Azure Custom Speech Service are only valid within that designated region. Attempting to utilize these keys across different regions will result in authentication errors. This emphasizes the importance of aligning your keys with the respective region for seamless functionality and security.
Data Processing and Storage
Azure Custom Speech Service ensures that your data remains secure and localized within the region associated with your Speech resource. Consequently, all data processing and storage occur exclusively in the region where the resource is created. This approach ensures data sovereignty and compliance with regional regulations regarding data handling.
Supported Regions and Features
The regions supported by Azure Custom Speech Service offer comprehensive coverage for core features like speech to text, text to speech, pronunciation assessment, and translation. Some advanced features such as fast transcription and batch synthesis APIs have specific region requirements, which are clearly outlined to guide users in selecting the appropriate region for their specific needs.
Geographic Availability
Whether you are in Africa, Asia Pacific, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, South America, or the United States, Azure Custom Speech Service enables you to leverage cutting-edge speech capabilities tailored to your geographic location. The extensive regional coverage ensures that users worldwide can benefit from the service's diverse features and functionalities.
