Please use the generate audio from text endpoint
instead.

This endpoint is used to trigger text to speech conversion.

Which version should you use?

If you are using a Standard & Premium voice (for instance, your voice look like en-US-JennyNeural), you must use the Convert TTS Standard & Premium Voices endpoint.


If you are using a PlayHT voice use the Generate Audio endpoint.

The request body should contain the text to be converted to speech, along with the voice to be used for the conversion. The response will contain a URL to the audio file generated by the conversion.

Use the transcriptionId in the response to check the conversion status in the Get Article Conversion Status endpoint.
