Amazon Polly launches more synthetic generative voices

Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of seven highly expressive Amazon Polly Generative voices in English, French, Polish and Dutch. Amazon Polly is a fully-managed service that turns text into lifelike speech, enabling developers and builders to speechify their applications for conversational AI or for speech content creation.

We are excited to share that Amazon Polly today launches one new male-sounding generative voice: Canadian French – Liam together with six new female-sounding generative voices: US English – Salli, Belgian French – Isabelle, French – Celine, Canadian French – Gabrielle, Polish – Ola, and Polish – Ewa. This launch expands the number of voices available on Polly’s Generative TTS engine to twenty-seven diverse voices.

With this release, Polly now offers six male-sounding voices (Canadian French – Liam, French – Rémi, German – Daniel, US Spanish – Pedro, Spain Spanish – Sergio, and Mexico Spanish – Andrés) that speak multiple languages while maintaining the same vocal identity as the US English voice Matthew. Having the same voice identity while speaking multiple languages natively enables customers to switch from one language to another while preserving brand identity across regions/locales. This is made possible by Amazon Polly’s GenAI-based polyglot capability, where a single voice is able to synthesize speech in multiple languages.

All 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.
