MAI-Voice-2.1 has 97 voices: en-US has 7, es-ES and en-AU have 1 each
Microsoft's MAI-Voice-2.1 doc lists 97 prebuilt voices over 28 locales. We counted per locale: some have seven choices, others only one.

Microsoft's MAI-Voice-2.1 page lists 97 prebuilt voices across 28 locale codes, but they are spread unevenly: en-US has 7 and Spanish (Spain) and Australian English have 1 each. Counting the list ourselves, a buyer casting a Spanish-Spain or en-AU ad gets no choice of speaker.
Voices per locale
We counted the voice names in the Learn page (public preview, no SLA). Totals sum to 97.
| Voices | Locales |
|---|---|
| 7 | en-US |
| 6 | hi, hu, pt-BR, ro, zh-CN |
| 4 | de, es-MX, fr, it, ko, ru, th, tr |
| 3 | nl, pt-PT |
| 2 | cs, da, en-GB, en-IN, fi, id, nb, pl, sv, vi |
| 1 | en-AU, es-ES |
Why the count matters
An ad series with a recurring presenter needs one voice per language that still sounds like a person you would hire. With one voice, both the male and female option collapse to a single sound, and a follow-up campaign has nobody else to use. Check that the count in your market covers the roles you need before pricing at $22 per million characters (standard) or $15 (Flash).
Sume's side
Sume TTS 1.0 picks a voice by voice.id or by a ready avatar voice, so choice depends on the voices in your account, not a fixed per-locale table. List them before promising a count to a client; the API reference shows the shape. We do not publish a per-language voice total here because we did not verify one.
