The best thing about amazon polly is it incorporates life like voices. You only pay for the synthesized text with an option to cache and replay so you don't pay multiple times for the same text. Additionally it is HIPPA compliant and even PCI DSS compliant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was a time it had few language choices but now it supports 60 voices and over 29 languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Terminology, sometimes is different from other similar tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I need the synthesis of my texts in Italian, the three voices present, two female and one male, are perfect. I really appreciate the fact that you can download the mp3 files of every text read by amazon polly. The fact that you can read up to 5 million characters a month, completely free, is also very welcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only one thing I don't like very much, one of the two female voices is too low. The rest is perfect Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AWS Polly provides more than seven different voices out of which for female voice there are 5 options and for male voice there are 3 options available. Also they are providing so many languages as base. AWS Polly also provides SSML. SSML is Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML). With SSML tags, you can customize and control aspects of speech such as pronunciation, volume, and speech rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not find anything wrong till now as they are providing best service and keep updating their services if they found any error or bug . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speech output generated by Polly is very human-like. It included the nuances and subtleties when a human speaks. This gives a life-like touch to it. It is quite easy to use and offers few variations in the speech. The pricing for this service is the lowest compared to other cloud service providers. It can be used effectively outside the AWS environment only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A very limited range of voices and languages only offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multiple voice options based on gender and region make it a awesome tool.It feels like a human is speaking. . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its comes as a part of AWS and this makes it not easily accessible to all developers without on-boarding into AWS that requires credit card.So AWS account becomes a must to use this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Definitely does the job; it is a great text converting service, and I appreciate the customization and control settings flexibility. They do have a very large variety of language and settings options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not enough choices for voices and definitely language options are scarce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use to learn and get started with. The console is a great way to get a feel for the product and using the API is almost as easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much! I would like to be able to extend the SSML spec so that I can perform things like character/voice switching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
