AWS – Six new synthetic generative voices for Amazon Polly

Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of six highly expressive Amazon Polly generative voices in English, French, Spanish, and German.
Amazon Polly is a managed service that turns text into lifelike speech, allowing you to create applications that talk and to build speech-enabled products depending on your business needs.

The generative engine is Amazon Polly’s most advanced text-to-speech (TTS) model. Today, we release six new synthetic female-sounding generative voices: i.e., Ayanda (South African English), Léa (French), Lucia (European Spanish), Lupe (American Spanish), Mía (Mexican Spanish), and Vicki (German). This launch increases the number of generative Polly voices from seven to thirteen and expands our footprint from three to nine locales. Leveraging the same Gen-AI technology that powered the English generative voices, Polly now supports German, Spanish, and French to provide our customers with more options of highly expressive and engaging voices.

Ayanda, Léa, Lucia, Lupe, Mía, and Vicki generative voices are accessible in the US East (North Virginia), Europe (Frankfurt), and US West (Oregon) regions and complement the other types of voices that are already available in the same regions.
