No incentive was offered Good for voice over as a single user #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Amazon deliver human like sound text to speech for animators that can't hire professional voice over artist! #### Cons They should improve more by adding more ai including old, young, mid, child and so on #### Reasons for switching to Amazon Polly Just checking the difference --- ### Natural-Sounding TTS with AWS - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Tony Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Facilities Services - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Amazon Polly delivers high-quality, natural-sounding speech, especially with its neural TTS voices. It provides native integration with other AWS services. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The neural text-to-speech (NTTS) voices are impressively lifelike, making it great for creating engaging audio content. #### Cons There’s still a gap when trying to create highly distinct or branded voices unless you opt for more advanced options. --- ### Must be user friendly - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Afsheen A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Apparel & Fashion - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My experience is awful.Tried my best to use Amazon text to speech platform but didn't find a way to sign up. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to Amazon Polly Every content creator is using Eleven Labs. It's voices are familiar now so I want to try new voice overs. --- ### 5 Stars For High Quality - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Timothy K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Animation - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered 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. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### Reasons for switching to Amazon Polly As a caregiver for a disabled sibling I have researched and used many TTS engines, for a long time. Amazon Polly has everything I need to make video animations and communicate with my disabled sibling. I use it professionally and am always happy with the results. --- ### AMAZON Polly - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ben M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Retail - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Good experience that has helped grow my business looking forward to working even closer with Polly #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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 --- ### Better than nothing... - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Martin C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Photography - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2021 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, the tool works pretty well and it will create loads of voice-over content. Just understand the resulting voices will sound like a computer. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros If you need to create some text-to-speech content and you're not concerned with the voice sounding "robotic". Then this service actually works well and you can get a lot done quickly. #### Cons The voice sounds unnatural and robotic, so you would not want to narrate any information that requires nuance or a sense of "humanity". --- ### Natural Voices for Every Application - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Karma M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Amazon Polly makes truly natural text to speech accessible and useable. The range of ages and personalities available make creating voiceovers that require more than one character a breeze. A key feature for the busy creator is that you don't have to utilize your speakers in order to create or download sound files. That means that if I need 20 single words hammered out for an educational game I am making I can simply type, download, delete, repeat without headphones or disrupting those around me. This one feature alone has saved me a ton of time and inconvenience. #### Cons It takes a bit to learn how to fully customize output using SSML codes. However, for most applications no added customization is needed. And, if you do need it there is a handy tutorial a click away. #### Reasons for switching to Amazon Polly Amazon Polly has voices that are far more natural than any other similarly accessible software options. --- ### Best Text-to-Speech Convertor - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Pv V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: E-Learning - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros There are more than seven different voices available for AWS Polly, five of which are available for female voices and three for male voices. They also provide so many languages as a base. SSML is also offered by AWS Polly. A number of aspects of speech can be controlled by SSML tags, including pronunciation, volume, and rate. #### Cons The service has so far been perfect, as they keep updating their services if they find any errors or bugs. --- ### 語学学習に使う - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Electrical/ Electronic Manufacturing - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 一度設定すれば、テキストを入力するだけで所望の音声を得ることができる。 #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros 合成された音声の完成度が良く、話す速度を変えることもできて、語学学習に使えるレベルにあるところ。 #### Cons 音声の選択肢が少ないこと。標準音声とai音声でできることが違う。 --- ### Easy to use, but average text-to-speech quality - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Luca Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Machinery - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Polly's APIs and web console are top-notch, easy to use and really powerful, with a wide range of voices and languages to choose from. Integration with other AWS services, such as S3, are really handy #### Cons The quality of the synthesized voices is a step below those available in Azure (which on the other hand has way worse tooling). #### Reasons for choosing Amazon Polly Ease of use, great APIs, AWS integration --- Showing 1 - 10 of 10 Reviews ## Other Top Recommended Text-To-Speech Software [Twilio](https://www.softwareadvice.com/voip/twilio-profile/) **4.4** (510) Recently recommended **0** times [invideo](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/invideo-profile/) **4.5** (416) Recently recommended **0** times [Fliki](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/awedio-profile/) **4.7** (345) Recently recommended **0** times [HeyGen](https://www.softwareadvice.com/video-making/heygen-profile/) **4.7** (319) Recently recommended **0** times Stuck Between Options?
