## Full Coverage
Amazon Polly Generative engine now offers more natural and accurate speech output. We're introducing an upgrade to the Amazon Polly Generative engine that delivers more expressive, more accurate speech output with low latency. The upgrade adds 14 new voices across 9 locales, including general availability of Generative voices in Hindi and Finnish for the first time. The upgrade is now generally available in production

Importantly, this is a drop-in upgrade for existing generative voices. Voice names and API calls are unchanged, so your existing applications continue to work as they do today

Amazon Polly is a fully managed AWS service that converts text into natural-sounding speech for contact centers, large language model (LLM)-based agentic applications, media and entertainment, e-learning, accessibility, and other applications that require reliable voice output at scale
