It provides native integration with other AWS services. ----- ### "Must be user friendly" — 1.0/5 > **Afsheen** | *28 December 2024* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like it's available in 40 languages with male and female voices. > > **Cons**: Sign up process is a quest. It's not normal like other apps to sign up through Google account. You have to write 12 digits codes out of no where. I have an Amazon account and I tried my best to find 12 digits to sign up but all in vain. Wasn't expecting this from Amazon. > > My experience is awful.Tried my best to use Amazon text to speech platform but didn't find a way to sign up. ----- ### "5 Stars For High Quality" — 5.0/5 > **Timothy** | *12 January 2022* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's ease of use. I gave this application 5 stars because of its versatility and technical ability. It is way beyond what even could be imagined even 5 years ago. Bravo AWS for an application the connects people so well. > > **Cons**: Some voices are weak. I just use a different higher quality voice if that happens. Of which most are. > > Plug and play. I use it in third party applications that have overtopped the machine interface with their own user interface. This is a great help. Makes it super easy as a user to work with. It always works for me. Unlike some other applications I have used I think this one is here to stay. Consistency and availability are high marks to get. This app does. ----- ### "AMAZON Polly" — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *21 May 2023* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's cost effective and really helps my business there is no crossed wires and is a useful tool for future development of AI > > **Cons**: Could sound a bit less robotic in its answers but it's only a small gripe > > Good experience that has helped grow my business looking forward to working even closer with Polly ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/253642/amazon-polly?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/253642/amazon-polly) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
