Microsoft adds two Indian languages to its neural text-to-speech service

Neural TTS significantly reduces listening fatigue when users interact with AI systems with a natural-sounding speech that matches the stress patterns and intonation of human voices

Microsoft India announced the addition of English (with Indian dialect) and Hindi to its Neural Text to Speech (Neural TTS) service language set. 

Neural TTS is a part of the Azure Cognitive Services and converts text to lifelike speech for a more natural interface. The service also provides customisable voices, fine-tuned auto control, and flexible deployment from cloud to edge. The two Indian languages are among the 15 new dialects added to the service enabled with artificial intelligence (AI)-driven audio quality.
