To store a lexicon

The following put-lexicon example stores the specified pronunciation lexicon. The example.pls file specifies a W3C PLS-compliant lexicon.

aws polly put-lexicon \
    --name w3c \
    --content file://example.pls

Contents of example.pls

{
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <lexicon version="1.0"
        xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/01/pronunciation-lexicon"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2005/01/pronunciation-lexicon
            http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/CR-pronunciation-lexicon-20071212/pls.xsd"
        alphabet="ipa"
        xml:lang="en-US">
