Speech marks without SSML example

The following example shows you what requested metadata looks like on your screen for the simple sentence: "Mary had a little lamb." For simplicity, we don't include SSML speech marks in this example.

The following AWS CLI example is formatted for Unix, Linux, and macOS. For Windows, replace the backslash (\) Unix continuation character at the end of each line with a caret (^) and use full quotation marks (") around the input text with single quotes (') for interior tags.

aws polly synthesize-speech \
  --output-format json \
  --voice-id Joanna \
  --text 'Mary had a little lamb.' \
  --speech-mark-types='["viseme", "word", "sentence"]' \
  MaryLamb.txt
