2020/06/16 - Amazon Polly - 5 updated api methods
Changes Amazon Polly adds new US English child voice - Kevin. Kevin is available as Neural voice only.
{'Voices': {'Id': {'Kevin'}}}
Returns the list of voices that are available for use when requesting speech synthesis. Each voice speaks a specified language, is either male or female, and is identified by an ID, which is the ASCII version of the voice name.
When synthesizing speech ( SynthesizeSpeech ), you provide the voice ID for the voice you want from the list of voices returned by DescribeVoices .
For example, you want your news reader application to read news in a specific language, but giving a user the option to choose the voice. Using the DescribeVoices operation you can provide the user with a list of available voices to select from.
You can optionally specify a language code to filter the available voices. For example, if you specify en-US , the operation returns a list of all available US English voices.
This operation requires permissions to perform the polly:DescribeVoices action.

string
Specifies the engine (standard or neural ) used by Amazon Polly when processing input text for speech synthesis.
string
The language identification tag (ISO 639 code for the language name-ISO 3166 country code) for filtering the list of voices returned. If you don't specify this optional parameter, all available voices are returned.
boolean
Boolean value indicating whether to return any bilingual voices that use the specified language as an additional language. For instance, if you request all languages that use US English (es-US), and there is an Italian voice that speaks both Italian (it-IT) and US English, that voice will be included if you specify yes but not if you specify no .

{'VoiceId': {'Kevin'}}
Response {'SynthesisTask': {'VoiceId': {'Kevin'}}}
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.
