Microsoft MAI-Voice-2
Launching today
Microsoft's most expressive TTS model yet — voice cloning from short samples, fine-grained emotional control, and consistent voice identity across 15 languages. Now live in Azure AI Foundry at $22 per million characters, with integrations rolling out in VSCode, Dynamics 365 Contact Center, and Teams. For builders shipping voice agents who need production-grade prosody without the OpenAI Realtime API price tag.

Refocus
The consistent voice identity across 15 languages is what stands out to me here. I work on a voice companion that calls aging parents every day, and a lot of our families are immigrants whose parents are most at ease in their first language. A warm, familiar voice that holds up in Tagalog or Mandarin is often the difference between a call someone looks forward to and one they let ring out. Question for the team: how stable is the cloned identity and emotional control over a full 10-minute conversation, or does the prosody drift toward neutral as the session runs longer?
