API for suspending and resuming custom neural voice

Hi,

We're happy to have been accepted for the custom neural voice program.

Since hosting an endpoint is charged by the hour, we only want to make some custom voices available during certain times of the day, like only during business hours. See here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/nl-nl/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/how-to-custom-voice-create-voice

You can Suspend and Resume your endpoint if you don't use it all the time. When an endpoint is reactivated after suspension, the endpoint URL will be kept the same so you don't need to change your code in your apps.

Is there an API we can use for this purpose so we can automate the task?

Thanks,

Hello dear customer,

I am sorry this feature only supported in custom voice portal now. I can understand the scenario and I have forwarded this idea to product group. A logic app may help if it can fit in this scenario as well.

Hi there!

We have the same use-case at the moment. Is this scenario picked up by the product group yet and/or are we already able to suspend and resume the custom neural voice endpoint through an API call? Can you give an update?

Cheers,
Sebastian

Hi,

We are also very interested in this. Is there any update?

Thanks!

We are also very keen to see this feature introduced. Due to the very high cost of the hosted endpoint, something like this is really required to handle use cases where text to speech content needs to be generated once a week/month etc. Otherwise please move to some kind of cost per use structure and remove the flat hosting fee of £3.04 per hour.

Many thanks,

Elliot
