Amazon Polly is a service that turns text into lifelike speech, allowing you to create applications that talk.

:::note
Amazon Polly currently supports the conversion of short texts to speech, i.e., up to 500 words. This is ideal for converting
summaries and conclusions to text rather than entire document contents. A separate resource to support longer text and speech
duration will be introduced in future releases.

:::note
This connector is built by UiPath and receives official support selectively. The connector supports a limited set of commonly used APIs for the target application and may cover most typical use cases. Also, they are retained in a stable state until the requirements for a new version release are met.
