AWS.Polly — AWS SDK for JavaScript (original) (raw)

We recommend that you migrate to AWS SDK for JavaScript v3. For dates, additional details, and information on how to migrate, please refer to the linked announcement.

Class: AWS.Polly

Overview

Constructs a service interface object. Each API operation is exposed as a function on service.

Service Description

Amazon Polly is a web service that makes it easy to synthesize speech from text.

The Amazon Polly service provides API operations for synthesizing high-quality speech from plain text and Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML), along with managing pronunciations lexicons that enable you to get the best results for your application domain.

Sending a Request Using Polly

var polly = new AWS.Polly();
polly.deleteLexicon(params, function (err, data) {
  if (err) console.log(err, err.stack); // an error occurred
  else     console.log(data);           // successful response
});

Locking the API Version

In order to ensure that the Polly object uses this specific API, you can construct the object by passing the apiVersion option to the constructor:

var polly = new AWS.Polly({apiVersion: '2016-06-10'});

You can also set the API version globally in AWS.config.apiVersions using the polly service identifier:

AWS.config.apiVersions = {
  polly: '2016-06-10',
  // other service API versions
};

var polly = new AWS.Polly();

Constructor Details

new AWS.Polly(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Constructs a service object. This object has one method for each API operation.

Property Details

endpoint ⇒ AWS.Endpoint

Returns an Endpoint object representing the endpoint URL for service requests.

Method Details

deleteLexicon(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Deletes the specified pronunciation lexicon stored in an Amazon Web Services Region. A lexicon which has been deleted is not available for speech synthesis, nor is it possible to retrieve it using either the GetLexicon or ListLexicon APIs.

For more information, see Managing Lexicons.

describeVoices(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

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.

getLexicon(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Returns the content of the specified pronunciation lexicon stored in an Amazon Web Services Region. For more information, see Managing Lexicons.

getSpeechSynthesisTask(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Retrieves a specific SpeechSynthesisTask object based on its TaskID. This object contains information about the given speech synthesis task, including the status of the task, and a link to the S3 bucket containing the output of the task.

listLexicons(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Returns a list of pronunciation lexicons stored in an Amazon Web Services Region. For more information, see Managing Lexicons.

listSpeechSynthesisTasks(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Returns a list of SpeechSynthesisTask objects ordered by their creation date. This operation can filter the tasks by their status, for example, allowing users to list only tasks that are completed.

putLexicon(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Stores a pronunciation lexicon in an Amazon Web Services Region. If a lexicon with the same name already exists in the region, it is overwritten by the new lexicon. Lexicon operations have eventual consistency, therefore, it might take some time before the lexicon is available to the SynthesizeSpeech operation.

For more information, see Managing Lexicons.

startSpeechSynthesisTask(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

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. The SpeechSynthesisTask object is available for 72 hours after starting the asynchronous synthesis task.

synthesizeSpeech(params = {}, callback) ⇒ AWS.Request

Synthesizes UTF-8 input, plain text or SSML, to a stream of bytes. SSML input must be valid, well-formed SSML. Some alphabets might not be available with all the voices (for example, Cyrillic might not be read at all by English voices) unless phoneme mapping is used. For more information, see How it Works.
