Creating Long Audio Files (Console)

You can use the Amazon Polly console to create long speeches using asynchronous synthesis with the same functionality as you can use with the Amazon CLI. This is done using the Text-to-Speech tab much like any other synthesis.

The other asynchronous synthesis functionality is also available via the console. The S3 synthesis tasks tab reflects the ListSpeechSynthesisTasks functionality, displaying all tasks saved to the S3 bucket and enabling you to filter them if you want. Clicking on a specific single task shows its details, reflecting GetSpeechSynthesisTask functionality.

To synthesize a large text using the Amazon Polly Console

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon Polly console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/polly/.

  2. Choose the Text-to-Speech tab.

  3. With SSML on or off, type or paste your text into the input box.

  4. Choose the language, region, and voice for your text.

  5. Choose Save to S3.

    Note

    Both the Download and Listen options are greyed out if the text length is above the 3,000 character limit for the real-time the SynthesizeSpeech operation.

  6. The console opens a form so that you can choose where to store the output file.

    1. Fill in the name of the destination Amazon S3 bucket.

    2. Optionally, fill in the prefix key of the output.

      Note

      The output S3 bucket must be writable.

    3. If you want to be notified when the synthesis task is complete, provide an optional SNS topic identifier.

      Note

      The SNS must be open for publication by the current console user to use this option. For more information, see Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS)

    4. Choose Save to S3.
