Three new Long-Form Voices

The Amazon Polly Long-Form engine now introduces two voices in Spanish and one in US English. [Amazon Polly](https://aws.amazon.com/polly) is a service that turns text into lifelike speech, allowing our customers to build speech-enabled products matching their business needs. Today, we add three new long-form voices to our premium Polly Text-to-Speech (TTS) line of products that we offer for synthesizing speech for longer content, such as articles, stories, or training materials. Male-sounding US English voice Patrick, female-sounding Spanish voice Alba, and male-sounding Spanish voice Raúl can now read long texts, such as blogs, articles, or learning materials. We trained them using the cutting edge technology that uses semantic cues to modify voice’s speaking style depending on the context. The result is natural-sounding, expressive voices that not only provide our customers with the ability of synthesizing their content in human-like Spanish and English, but expand their use-cases to long content reading. Patrick, Alba, and Raúl long-form voices are accessible in the US East (North Virginia) region and complement the other long-form voices that are already available for developing speech products for a variety of use cases.
