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.

Also they are providing so many languages as base. AWS Polly also provides SSML. SSML is Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).

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.
