Returns the list of voices that are available for use when requesting speech synthesis. Each voice speaks a specified language, is either male or female, and is identified by an ID, which is the ASCII version of the voice name.
When synthesizing speech ( SynthesizeSpeech ), you provide the voice ID for
the voice you want from the list of voices returned by DescribeVoices.
For example, you want your news reader application to read news in a specific language,
but giving a user the option to choose the voice. Using the DescribeVoices
operation you can provide the user with a list of available voices to select from.
You can optionally specify a language code to filter the available voices. For example,
if you specify en-US, the operation returns a list of all available US English
voices.
This operation requires permissions to perform the polly:DescribeVoices action.
This is an asynchronous operation using the standard naming convention for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the operation is implemented as a pair of methods using the standard naming convention of BeginDescribeVoices and EndDescribeVoices.
