Sprachausgabe
The Google platform's speech output turns text into spoken language and brings instant voice cloning with it; in daily work this is a side route - a draft to listen to for a final check, an announcement on the phone. It runs via Google Vertex AI, and on that route the chain is closed: the platform operator's signed confidentiality agreement under section 203 of the German Criminal Code is service-bound and covers this service too, with processing during the request committed to the EU and to France. The additionally listed London endpoint lies outside the EU scope and has to be blocked; voice cloning also touches the personality rights of a real person.
Everything section 203 requires is settled, including the provider's confidentiality undertaking. You do not have to clarify anything further.
What it is good for
- Callable through the platform's EU endpoint, processing committed to the EU and to France
- Covered by the same service-bound section 203 agreement as the platform's language models
- Covers the return path of speech processing without text going to a further service provider
Where it stops
- None of the seven task classes in this catalogue - the entry documents the coverage position, it is not a recommendation for use
- The additionally available London endpoint lies outside the EU scope and has to be blocked
- Voice cloning touches the personality rights of the person concerned - consent and purpose limitation have to be settled in advance
- CLOUD Act exposure remains - the third-country module is mandatory
Routes examined
The same model, procured differently, is a different legal position. What is examined per route is the contract chain, not the model.

The conditions behind a conditional status - which piece is open on which route and who closes it - are set out in the full matrix in the German catalogue, and we go through them in the conversation. The German page for Sprachausgabe carries the sources with their retrieval dates.
