Microsoft Azure AI: Realistic Avatars with Text to Speech
Microsoft has introduced a new Text to Speech Avatar feature in Azure AI Speech, which allows you to turn text into photorealistic digital videos with talking avatars.
Developers can choose characters from the library or create their own models. The tool supports both asynchronous and real synthesis mode, offering flexibility in content creation. The use of Custom Avatar is strictly controlled.
The novelty is already being used by companies such as KPMG and Coca-Cola to improve customer engagement.
