To use the proprietary Azure Speech service you will need a free Azure subscription. This will allow, for example (as checked in May 2021), per monthly, 5 hours of audio transcription and 5 million character text to speech. See Azure Pricing and Azure Free Account to subscribe.

Once you have an account visit the Azure Portal to Create a Speech resource. Once created you can access the subscription key and the endpoint from the portal.
