Amazon Nova Sonic adds support for Spanish language

Amazon Nova Sonic, a state-of-the-art speech-to-speech foundation model, now supports Spanish language, bringing natural, real-time voice conversations to more users and developers worldwide. This expands on its original support for English, with expressive voices in American and British accents, to now include Spanish with two additional (masculine and feminine-sounding) expressive voices.

Nova Sonic unifies speech understanding and speech generation into a single model, to enable human-like voice conversations in AI applications. The novel architecture enables the model to adapt the generated voice response to the acoustic context (e.g., tone, style) and the spoken input, resulting in more natural human-like dialogue. Additionally, Amazon Nova Sonic supports function calling, agentic workflows, and knowledge grounding with enterprise data.
