Amazon Polly adds bidirectional streaming API for real-time speech synthesis in conversational AI

Amazon has released a new Bidirectional Streaming API for Amazon Polly that enables simultaneous text input and audio output over a single HTTP/2 connection. The API reduces end-to-end latency by 39% compared to traditional request-response TTS by allowing text to be sent word-by-word as LLMs generate tokens, rather than waiting for complete sentences. The feature is available in Java, JavaScript, .NET, C++, Go, Kotlin, PHP, Ruby, Rust, and Swift SDKs.
