Implementing Audio Content with Amazon Polly
In the modern world of podcasts and videos, distributing and re-purposing written content in a variety of forms can help reach new audiences and improve accessibility. This doesn't have to be burdensome and expensive. We designed an embeddable audio player and a text-to-speech generation system that allowed our client to level-up their existing website and feature audio versions of their articles. Harness the power of Amazon Polly's AI voice generator and our light-weight integration to take your content to the next level.
Customer Challenges
The challenge for this organization was to integrate with their existing site and custom content management system to provide them with a feature that would allow them to generate on-demand audio for web content themselves, as their article base and consumer interest increased.
The solution needed to encompass both existing content, as well as allow for new files to be generated during their content creation workflow.
We Delivered
- An embeddable audio-player
- that allows consumers to listen to the page content on demand, without the need to regenerate a speech file, keeping costs under control no matter the scale of use.
- An audio-generation feature
- with a webhook that could be integrated into their existing custom content management system, allowing our client to generate new audio for an article with a single click.
- Batching support
- with a tool flexible enough to handle batches of thousands in order to add the audio feature to existing content incrementally.
- Cost Effectiveness
- with a light-weight system that leverages AWS promotional offerings and only charges for the services that are actually used on initial audio generation.
The IMS team helped us build just the right solution for incorporating AI tools into our website.
They made the technical requirements understandable and helped problem solve several obstacles that emerged as we worked through processing our existing data. Our visitors love it and we're looking forward to sharing this new way of interacting with our content with the broader community.
