#1211483291191083018 I’m trying to use Azure Speech with Vapi to enable Dutch (Belgium) voices like nl-BE-MaartenNeural and nl-BE-LouiseNeural, which are crucial for building a realistic voice agent for the Belgian market. However, these voices are only available in specific Azure regions such as westeurope and francecentral, but those regions are currently not selectable in the Vapi Azure integration dropdown. When I choose france, for example, I get a DNS error (ENOTFOUND) because Azure doesn’t recognize france.tts.speech.microsoft.com. Could you please add support for at least westeurope and francecentral in the Azure region dropdown? This would allow us to use Azure’s native Flemish voices properly. Thanks a lot in advance — this would be a big improvement for Dutch-speaking Vapi users in Belgium.

Thank you for highlighting the need for "westeurope" and "francecentral" Azure regions in Vapi for Flemish TTS support. According to the information I found, these regions are not currently available in the Vapi Azure integration dropdown, and selecting "france" leads to a DNS error because Azure does not recognize france.tts.speech.microsoft.com as a valid endpoint. Actionable suggestion: Please submit a formal feature request to the Vapi support team to add "westeurope" and "francecentral" to the Azure region dropdown, as this will enable access to the required Flemish voices for your use case.
