TTS - Connect to external speech services such as Azure Speech Studio
Currently text to speech is extremely limited with legacy microsoft desktop and neo speech voices. Competitor products now provide the ablity to connect directly to new-gen neural speech generation platforms such as Azure Speech Studio (microsoft) and Amazon Poly. Ideally, text narrative on a slide could be generated in Azure Speech Studio with the click of a button and the audio is automatically placed in the slide. Currently I have to generate speech mp3 files in Azure, download them, then import them into Captivate which is a slow and convoluted process, especially if minor edits are required and the whole process has to be repeated.

This feature would greatly benefit me and my team, as we rely on text-to-speech functionality for various projects, especially when minor edits or adjustments are necessary.
