Hello, I am trying to convert text to speech through Azure's Speech Service, using my local PC's CLI.

After i sucessffully logged in through the relevant CMDLET (Connect-AzAccount), i hit the following commands: 

.\spx synthesize --nodefaults --region MYREGION --key MYKEY--text "This is a test"
.\spx synthesize --text "Testing synthesis using the Speech CLI" --speakers

and i get the following errors: 

SYNTHESIS STARTED: a1320f4cf3044d409454e6e4d1132122

CANCELED: Reason=Error
CANCELED: ErrorCode=NoError
CANCELED: ErrorDetails=USP error, timeout to get the first audio chunk.
CANCELED: Did you update the subscription info?

I also contacted Azure's support through the chatting service and confirmed that there aren't any issues regarding my subscription (Free).

Thanks in advance.

    Ok, resolved!

    I had created a subscription config on cmd but had not on powershell.

    So, i did subscribe on powershell with the relevant commands written in the article you referred to and now it works great!

    Thanks @GiftA-MSFT !

    PS: Please note that both the following commands produce an error when run on powershell: 

    spx config @key --set SUBSCRIPTION-KEY  
spx config @region --set REGION

    ,so in order to resolve use the following: 

    spx config --set key=SUBSCRIPTION-KEY  
spx config --set regio=REGION
