Text to Speech with Amazon Polly | Console Demo & Walkthrough

Amazon Polly is a powerful AWS service that lets you easily convert text to speech either directly in the console or through an API. In this video, I show you what it's like to work with Amazon Polly to convert my own voice to a text snippet. Learn about the major features of Amazon Polly and how it works!

Great vid. Looking forward to the next one on Poly

Thank you for showing SSML feature. I always wanted to play with it.

[Spelarkivet]

Is it just me, or do most of the AI voice generators have these low level artifacts, like almost a grainy nature or a bit muffled?

[mimmolagonigro]

Is it possible to generate audio directly with subtitle text files in *.srt format?

[Hlsro]

Can you use multiple voices in a single SSML script with Amazon Polly without manually editing the audio files together?

[inmind]

Can we use this like text to speech Website

[darrensurrey]

Thanks. I don't know why but even the Neural version sounds generated. Maybe the Polly voices have that whispy noise like they're talking over a phone? ElevenLabs sounds a lot better. Was going to sign up to test Polly but while it's 5x cheaper than ElevenLabs, it isn't good enough.

I find that you can't edit a 3000 word document 'on the fly' which makes it difficult - how can I do that?

To think they charge for this! Massively behind some opensource projects

[ChristoKiwi]

Are the SDKs available for GoLang yet?

[pierreevanno]

Hi, thank for the video! Do you know why my script doesn't work on Amazon Polly? Polly doesn't accept <voice> SSML to have a multiple languages and voices in one script?

<speak>

<voice name='Celine'>
<lang xml:lang='fr-FR'>J'adore chanter</lang>
</voice>

<voice name='Emma'>
<lang xml:lang='en-UK'>I love to sing</lang>
</voice>

<voice name='Brian'>
<lang xml:lang='en-UK'>I love to sing</lang>
</voice>
