Amazon Polly expands Generative TTS engine with additional languages and region support

Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of five highly expressive Amazon Polly Generative voices in Austrian German (Hannah), Irish English (Niamh), Brazilian Portuguese (Camila), Belgian Dutch (Lisa), and Korean (Seoyeon). This release follows our October launch of Netherlands Dutch (Laura) Generative voice, bringing our total Generative engine offering to thirty-one voices across twenty locales. Additionally, we have expanded the Generative engine to three new regions in Asia Pacific: Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo).

Amazon Polly is a fully-managed service that turns text into lifelike speech, allowing developers and builders to enable their applications for conversational AI or for speech content creation.

All new and existing Generative voices are now available in the US East (North Virginia), Europe (Frankfurt), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) regions.
