ConfigurationEvent - Amazon Lex
ContentsSee Also

ConfigurationEvent

The initial event sent from the application to Amazon Lex to configure the conversation, including session and request attributes and the response content type.

Contents

responseContentType

The message that Amazon Lex returns in the response can be either text or speech based on the responseContentType value.

  • If the value is text/plain;charset=utf-8, Amazon Lex returns text in the response.

  • If the value begins with audio/, Amazon Lex returns speech in the response. Amazon Lex uses Amazon Polly to generate the speech using the configuration that you specified in the requestContentType parameter. For example, if you specify audio/mpeg as the value, Amazon Lex returns speech in the MPEG format.

  • If the value is audio/pcm, the speech returned is audio/pcm in 16-bit, little-endian format.

  • The following are the accepted values:

    • audio/mpeg

    • audio/ogg

    • audio/pcm

    • audio/* (defaults to mpeg)

    • text/plain; charset=utf-8
