SynthesisTask

SynthesisTask object that provides information about a speech synthesis task.

Contents

Timestamp for the time the synthesis task was started.

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

Engine

Specifies the engine (standard, neural or long-form) for Amazon Polly to use when processing input text for speech synthesis. Using a voice that is not supported for the engine selected will result in an error.

LanguageCode

Optional language code for a synthesis task. This is only necessary if using a bilingual voice, such as Aditi, which can be used for either Indian English (en-IN) or Hindi (hi-IN).

If a bilingual voice is used and no language code is specified, Amazon Polly uses the default language of the bilingual voice. The default language for any voice is the one returned by the DescribeVoices operation for the LanguageCode parameter. For example, if no language code is specified, Aditi will use Indian English rather than Hindi.
