Hey developers!
If you’ve ever wanted your application to talk back or just needed to convert some plain text into natural-sounding audio, you're in the right place. In this blog post, I’ll walk you through a simple and quick way to convert text to speech using Microsoft Azure's powerful Speech service. Don’t worry—this is going to be super easy, and we’ll be using C# for the coding part.
Let’s get started!
What are we building?
By the end of this quickstart, you’ll have a C# console application that sends text to Azure's Speech service and gets back audio that plays out loud. Cool, right?
