Details
Amazon has announced a new Bidirectional Streaming API for its Polly text-to-speech service. This feature enables real-time, synchronous text-to-speech synthesis, where audio generation can begin before the full text response is available. This is particularly useful for conversational AI applications that generate text or audio incrementally, such as responses from large language models (LLMs). The new API allows the client to start receiving audio as soon as Polly begins processing the input text, without having to wait for the complete response. This streamlines the experience for users interacting with conversational AI systems powered by LLMs or other incremental text generation.
