Details: Amazon Polly Pricing

ChatGPT
As of my last update in January 2022, Amazon Polly, which is a cloud service that converts text into lifelike speech, operates on a pay-as-you-go pricing model. The cost depends on the number of characters of text that you convert to speech. Amazon Polly offers a free tier, and beyond that, charges are based on the amount of text processed.

Here’s a general overview of the pricing structure:

  1. Free Tier: Amazon Polly offers a free tier for new customers, which includes 5 million characters per month for speech or Speech Marks requests for the first 12 months.
  2. Standard Voices: Beyond the free tier, Amazon Polly charges for the number of characters you convert to speech. The pricing for standard voices is typically lower than for neural voices.
  3. Neural Voices: Amazon Polly also offers more natural-sounding neural text-to-speech voices, which are generally more expensive than standard voices.
  4. Speech Marks: If you use speech marks to generate timing information for your text, this may also incur additional costs.

Please note that prices can vary based on the AWS region you are using. Also, Amazon Web Services (AWS) occasionally updates their pricing, so it’s a good idea to check the latest pricing details on the Amazon Polly pricing page or contact AWS for the most current information.
