Your First Text to Speech Conversion

This guide walks you through creating your first audio file with Speech Studio in just a few steps.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Speech Studio Main Interface

1. Open Speech Studio

Launch Speech Studio from your desktop shortcut or the Start Menu. The main window will open with the text-to-speech interface ready.

2. Enter Your Text

Type or paste the text you want to convert into the large text input area. You can enter anything from a single sentence to multiple paragraphs.

Best Results

For the most natural-sounding output, use properly punctuated text with clear sentence structure. The AI voice engine uses punctuation to determine pauses and intonation.

3. Select a Voice

Click the Voice dropdown to browse available voices. You can filter by:

  • Language -- Choose from 80+ languages and regional dialects
  • Gender -- Male or female voices
  • Voice name -- Each voice has a unique character and tone

Start with a popular voice like en-US-JennyNeural (English, US) for a natural, conversational tone.

4. Adjust Settings (Optional)

Before generating, you can optionally adjust:

  • Speed -- Slow down or speed up the speech rate
  • Pitch -- Raise or lower the voice pitch
  • Volume -- Control the output volume level

5. Generate Audio

Click the Convert button. Speech Studio will send your text to the Azure speech engine and generate the audio. A progress bar indicates the conversion status.

Processing Time

Conversion speed depends on text length and your internet connection. A typical paragraph converts in a few seconds.

6. Preview and Save

Once conversion is complete:

  • Click Play to preview the audio directly in the app
  • Click Save to export the audio file to your preferred location
  • Choose your desired format (MP3, WAV, or OGG)
