Assembly
AWSSDK.Polly.dll

Container for the parameters to the SynthesizeSpeech operation. Synthesizes UTF-8 input, plain text or SSML, to a stream of bytes. SSML input must be valid, well-formed SSML. Some alphabets might not be available with all the voices (for example, Cyrillic might not be read at all by English voices) unless phoneme mapping is used. For more information, see How it Works.

Properties

LanguageCode

Gets and sets the property LanguageCode.

Optional language code for the Synthesize Speech request. This is only necessary if using a bilingual voice, such as Aditi, which can be used for either Indian English (en-IN) or Hindi (hi-IN).

If a bilingual voice is used and no language code is specified, Amazon Polly will use the default language of the bilingual voice. The default language for any voice is the one returned by the DescribeVoices operation for the 

LanguageCode
parameter. For example, if no language code is specified, Aditi will use Indian English rather than Hindi.
