AWS demonstrates text-to-voice assistant migration with Nova 2 Sonic
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has published a guide for migrating existing text-based agents to voice assistants using Amazon Transcribe Nova 2 and Amazon Polly Neural Text-to-Speech (NTTS), focusing on architecture and adaptation for voice interaction.
What happened?
AWS has presented a method for converting text-based conversational agents into voice assistants. The process involves using AWS services such as Amazon Transcribe Nova 2 for speech-to-text and Amazon Polly with Neural Text-to-Speech (NTTS) for text-to-speech. It outlines the differing requirements between text and voice agents as well as the architecture for implementing a voice assistant.

”In this post, we explore what it takes to migrate a traditional text agent into a conversational voice assistant using Amazon Nova 2 Sonic. We compare text and voice agent requirements, highlight design priorities for different use cases, break down agent architecture, and addres”
Why it matters
This guidance addresses the challenge of adapting existing AI agents to new modes of interaction. By providing a structured migration method, the transition to voice interfaces is facilitated, potentially broadening the scope of application for AI assistants. It highlights technical considerations for optimising voice-based interactions.
Who is affected?
The guide is primarily aimed at developers and architects working with conversational AI who wish to expand their existing text-based solutions into voice-controlled systems. Companies considering the implementation of voice assistants are also affected, as the guide provides insights into design and implementation.
What else you should know
The guide also covers tools, sub-agents for reuse, and how to adapt system prompts to function effectively within a voice assistant context.
