Amazon Polly is a fully-managed AWS cloud service that uses deep learning to convert text such as articles, web pages, and PDFs into lifelike spoken audio via an API. It offers 100+ neural and standard voices across 40+ languages and variants, with SSML tags and custom lexicons to control pronunciation, emphasis, intonation, and style. Output can be streamed in real time or saved to standard audio files like MP3 and OGG for use in speech-enabled applications.

Vogent is a platform for building humanlike voice AI agents that can place and handle phone calls, using building blocks like IVR detection and navigation models, low-latency custom voices, and conversational LLMs fine-tuned on millions of phone calls. It offers a no-code drag-and-drop Flow Builder as well as APIs and SDKs for developers, plus call history, outcome extraction, and post-call automations. Users can host agents on live phone numbers and bring their own OpenAI-compatible models.
