Amazon Polly introduces real-time speech synthesis

Amazon Web Services has launched a new Bidirectional Streaming API for Amazon Polly, enabling real-time text-to-speech synthesis. This feature allows applications to send text and receive audio concurrently, significantly improving responsiveness. It is particularly beneficial for conversational AI systems, such as those powered by large language models, where incremental audio generation is crucial. The new API ensures users can begin hearing responses before the complete text is processed, enhancing the natural flow of human-computer interactions in dynamic communication scenarios.
