Listening to Amazon Polly voices - Amazon Polly

Listening to Amazon Polly voices

Amazon Polly provides dozens of lifelike voices and support for a variety of languages. Each voice is created using native language speakers, so there are variations from voice to voice, even within the same language. To hear example voices, refer to the Amazon Polly feature overview.

You can also use the AWS Management Console to test each voice with text of your choice. For most languages, there will be at least one male and one female voice, and often more than one of each. A few languages only have a single voice. For a complete list, see Voices in Amazon Polly.

To listen to Amazon Polly voices with text of your choice
  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Polly console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/polly/.

The inventory of voices and the number of languages included is continually being updated to include additional choices. To suggest a new language or voice, provide feedback on this page. Unfortunately, we are not able to comment on plans for specific new languages before they are released.
