Describe Voices
polly_describe_voices | R Documentation |
Returns the list of voices that are available for use when requesting speech synthesis¶
Description¶
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 ( synthesize_speech
), you provide the voice
ID for the voice you want from the list of voices returned by
describe_voices
.
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 describe_voices
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.
Usage¶
Arguments¶
Engine
Specifies the engine (
standard
,neural
,long-form
orgenerative

IncludeAdditionalLanguageCodes
Boolean value indicating whether to return any bilingual voices that use the specified language as an additional language. For instance, if you request all languages that use US English (es-US), and there is an Italian voice that speaks both Italian (it-IT) and US English, that voice will be included if you specify
yes
but not if you specifyno
