Amazon Polly

2018/07/17 - Amazon Polly - 3 new api methods

Changes  Amazon Polly adds new API for asynchronous synthesis to S3

ListSpeechSynthesisTasks (new) Link ¶

Returns a list of SpeechSynthesisTask objects ordered by their creation date. This operation can filter the tasks by their status, for example, allowing users to list only tasks that are completed.

          • (string) --

        • OutputFormat (string) --

          The format in which the returned output will be encoded. For audio stream, this will be mp3, ogg_vorbis, or pcm. For speech marks, this will be json.

        • VoiceId (string) --

          Voice ID to use for the synthesis.

StartSpeechSynthesisTask (new) Link ¶

Allows the creation of an asynchronous synthesis task, by starting a new SpeechSynthesisTask . This operation requires all the standard information needed for speech synthesis, plus the name of an Amazon S3 bucket for the service to store the output of the synthesis task and two optional parameters (OutputS3KeyPrefix and SnsTopicArn). Once the synthesis task is created, this operation will return a SpeechSynthesisTask object, which will include an identifier of this task as well as the current status.
