Azure resources for Azure AI Speech
To use Azure AI Speech in an application, you must create an appropriate resource in your Azure subscription. You can choose to create either of the following types of resource:
- A Speech resource - choose this resource type if you only plan to use Azure AI Speech, or if you want to manage access and billing for the resource separately from other services.
- An Azure AI services resource - choose this resource type if you plan to use Azure AI Speech in combination with other Azure AI services, and you want to manage access and billing for these services together.
