We are excited to announce the integration of Amazon Polly (AWS) as a native Text-to-Speech (TTS) provider. This new feature allows you to convert written text into high-quality, natural-sounding audio directly within our platform. By leveraging Amazon Polly's advanced deep learning technologies, you can now deliver more engaging and accessible audio experiences to your users.

Feature Highlights

• Lifelike Voices: Access dozens of high-quality, realistic voices across multiple languages and accents, including both Standard and Neural TTS voices.

2. Locate Amazon Polly under the Text-to-Speech providers list and click Configure.

Benefits

• Enhanced User Engagement: Deliver high-fidelity, human-like speech that improves user comprehension and retention.

Example Workflow

Instead of hiring voice actors for every minor content update, you navigate to the platform's editor, type in the updated training script, and select Amazon Polly's "Joanna" Neural voice. Within seconds, a high-quality audio file is generated and embedded into the course, saving hours of production time and keeping your content perfectly up to date.
