We are delighted to announce that HAQM Lex now supports Australian English. HAQM Lex is a service for building conversational interfaces into any application using voice and text. HAQM Lex provides deep learning powered automatic speech recognition (ASR) for converting speech to text, and natural language understanding (NLU) to recognize the intent of the text, to enable you to build applications with highly engaging user experiences and lifelike conversational interactions. With Australian English, you can deliver a robust and localized conversational experience that accurately understands the Australian dialect. You can also respond to users with natural sounding HAQM Polly Australian voices to provide a fully localized conversational experience.
The conversational interfaces built on HAQM Lex can be applied to a variety of use cases such as interactive voice response systems, self-service chatbots, and application bots. HAQM Lex also provides pre-defined slots that are localized to capture information such as common Australian names and cities.
Australian English is available in all AWS Regions where HAQM Lex operates. To learn more, visit the HAQM Lex documentation page and the Create a sophisticated conversational experience using HAQM Lex in Australian English.
