List of TTS voices and how to access it

A catalog of TTS voices is put at your disposal to offer the service in a range of language (English, French, German and Dutch) with masculine and feminine voices covering different accent.

For instance, Dutch is offered in a feminine voice with a Belgium accent (NL-BE_Ellen) or a feminine and masculine voice with a Dutch accent (NL-NL_Claire and NL-NL_Xender).

Voices are sorted using two codes: the first one is the language code while the second is the country code.

A full list of the available TTS voices can be fetched with the API using the media/tts.get_voice_list method (doc). It requires no parameter.
