Hello,

Just getting started with AWS in general so not sure what's going on here.

I ran the Polly sample command in bash to get started.

aws polly synthesize-speech
--output-format mp3
--voice-id Joanna
--text 'Hello, my name is Joanna. I learned about the W3C on 10/3 of last year.'
hello.mp3

Returned this error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'hello.mp3'

I tried redirecting the file using > ~/hello.mp3 and that did not work.

I also thought I tried changing permissions on various files and directories using sudo chmod +x, but I may have missed something there.

Ubuntu 22.10

********Update

I reconfigured aws using sudo aws configure.

I then ran the Polly command aws using sudo and now it works fine.

Thanks,

Matthew

I've run the python script on python 3 and it says the adminuser set on line 68 is not found?

The AWS for Wordpress plugin, referenced in the help doc at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/WordPressPlugin-install.html, is no longer available via Wordpress. See https://wordpress.org/plugins/ It is also not available here: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-for-wordpress

What i'm trying to do?

Get a specific piece of text outputted from amazon polly to mp3 format.
i tried following the amazon aws android example in the polly guide. that crashed my app with a null point exception

i tried following the java example but it shows me that AmazonPollyClient constructor is deprecated.

i then tried this:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/developer-guide/credentials.html

My Code :
`import com.amazonaws.auth.BasicAWSCredentials;
import com.amazonaws.regions.Regions;
import com.amazonaws.services.polly.AmazonPollyClient;
import com.amazonaws.services.polly.model.DescribeVoicesRequest;
import com.amazonaws.services.polly.model.DescribeVoicesResult;
import com.amazonaws.services.polly.model.OutputFormat;
import com.amazonaws.services.polly.model.SynthesizeSpeechPresignRequest;
import com.amazonaws.services.polly.model.Voice;

public class AmazonPolly {

public URL getRingtones(String name) {
    BasicAWSCredentials awsCred = new BasicAWSCredentials("XXXXXXXXXXX","XXXXXXXXXX");
    AmazonPollyClient client = AmazonPollyClientBuilder.standard().withCredentials(new AWSStaticCredentialsProvider(awsCred)).build();
    DescribeVoicesRequest describeVoicesRequest = new DescribeVoicesRequest();

    // voice options
    DescribeVoicesResult describeVoicesResult = client.describeVoices(describeVoicesRequest);
    List<Voice> voices = describeVoicesResult.getVoices();
    SynthesizeSpeechPresignRequest synthesizeSpeechPresignRequest =
            new SynthesizeSpeechPresignRequest()
                    // Set text
                    .withText("You have a call from " + name + "   ")
                    // Set voice
                    .withVoiceId(voices.get(0).getId()) // "Joanna"
                    // Set format
                    .withOutputFormat(OutputFormat.Mp3);

// Get the presigned URL for synthesized speech audio stream.
URL presignedSynthesizeSpeechUrl = client.getPresignedSynthesizeSpeechUrl(synthesizeSpeechPresignRequest);
return presignedSynthesizeSpeechUrl;

}

looks correct in source at doc_source/get-started-what-next.md

but at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/get-started-what-next.html there are two extra comments on lines 30 and 35

This is more of a question than an issue.

There are Phoneme/Viseme tables available at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/ref-phoneme-tables-shell.html which are supported by Amazon Polly.

I require a text to speech speech system for my research. I want to select certain words which will be spoken with exclusively with certain visemes (like T, @, O, etc) in various languages and generate these sounds of words using amazon polly to further study it in speech signal domain.

However, Hindi, which is a very important language I wish to include does not have Phoneme/Viseme mapping info on the website. Only phonemes (viseme column is absent from the table) are available. I am willing to generate the table myself but what are the visemes which you support? For ex: some linguists say there are 13 visemes others say there are 16 (or more). Also some linguistics may map a phoneme to a different one than other.

How were these visemes shortlisted. Perhaps a citation to the original publication would be helpful.

Can a text with both Chinese and English support voice conversion? Without specifying a language type。And you don't need to use an SSML tag to set whether it's in Chinese or English
