Amazon Nova Sonic adds language support for French, Italian, German

Amazon Nova Sonic—a speech-to-speech foundation model—now supports French, Italian, and German, expanding on its existing coverage of English and Spanish. This update includes six additional expressive voices, offering both masculine and feminine-sounding options, to help developers create more natural and inclusive conversational AI experiences across a wider range of languages.

In addition, Amazon Nova Sonic now integrates with LiveKit, an open-source WebRTC platform, and Pipecat, an open-source framework for building voice and multimodal AI agents. These integrations simplify the development of low-latency, real-time voice applications by removing the need to manage complex audio pipelines and streaming infrastructure. As an added capability, Nova Sonic now also supports integrations with Vonage and Twilio, extending deployment flexibility for telephony and communications use cases.

Amazon Nova Sonic is a speech-to-speech foundation model that delivers real-time, human-like voice conversations with low latency. Available in Amazon Bedrock via the bidirectional streaming API, the model understands streaming speech in various speaking styles and generates expressive speech responses that dynamically adapt to the prosody of input speech.
