We are delighted to announce that HAQM Lex now supports Japanese. 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) capabilities to recognize the intent of the text, enabling you to build applications with lifelike conversational interactions. Now you can deliver a robust and localized conversational experience that understands Japanese. You can also respond to users with natural sounding HAQM Polly Japanese voices and provide a fully localized, voice 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 Japanese names and cities.
Japanese is available in all AWS Regions where HAQM Lex operates. To learn more, visit the HAQM Lex documentation page.
