<!-- TODO: expand -->

Azure Speech is Microsoft's text-to-speech service. JSON2Video integrates with Azure for high-quality voiceovers, particularly when you need:

• Languages and neural voices not covered by ElevenLabs.
• Enterprise / compliance requirements that mandate Azure as the TTS provider.
• SSML support for fine-grained pronunciation, breaks, and prosody control.

How it appears in JSON2Video#

Reference Azure on a voice element by setting model to azure:

{
  "type": "voice",
  "model": "azure",
  "voice": "en-US-JennyNeural",
  "text": "Hello, this is an Azure-generated voiceover."
}

The voice field expects an Azure voice short name. Refer to Microsoft's voice gallery for the complete list.

Bring your own Azure subscription#

To use your own Azure subscription (and pay Microsoft directly):

1. In the Azure portal, create or pick a Speech resource. Note the region and the API key.
2. Create a Connection at json2video.com/dashboard/connections of type Azure, paste the key, and set the region.
3. Reference the Connection on the voice element:

{
  "type": "voice",
  "model": "azure",
  "connection": "my-azure",
  "voice": "en-US-JennyNeural",
  "text": "Hello, world!"
}

SSML support#

Azure voices accept SSML input for tags like <break>, <prosody>, <phoneme>. Pass SSML via the text field; the engine forwards it directly to Azure.

Cost#

JSON2Video-billed usage is documented in the credit consumption table. With a Connection, Azure bills your subscription per the Speech service pricing.
