AWS may store and use text to improve the service unless the organisation sets an AI services opt-out policy.\n\n**Inworld Realtime TTS-2.** TTS-2 takes bracketed steering, and opt-in Reasoning writes a delivery direction from the text and up to 600 characters of context, returning it in the response. Per-character prices are public and the free plan needs no card. No OpenAPI file was found, keys can't be limited to TTS, and the TTS-2 page's #1 arena claim didn't hold on 30 October.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Amazon Polly\n\n1. Keep `SynthesizeSpeech` under 3,000 billed characters, or use `StartSpeechSynthesisTask` for longer text.\n2. Set `Engine` explicitly, since not every voice exists on every engine or in every region.\n3. Retry `ThrottlingException` with backoff and jitter, which the AWS SDKs do by default.\n4. Check the generative SSML tag list before porting neural SSML.\n5. Ask for `OutputFormat` `json` with speech marks when you need word timings.\n\n### Inworld Realtime TTS-2\n\n1. Send the copied Base64 credential as-is in `Authorization: Basic`. Don't encode it again.\n2. Set `modelId` explicitly, because SDK defaults may name deprecated models.\n3. Keep text under 2,000 UTF-16 units on `/tts/v1/voice` and 4,000 on `voice:stream`, or use an async job.\n4. Turn on Reasoning with `synthesisContext.reasoning: REASONING_ON` and store `reasoningInstruction` to repeat a delivery as a bracketed tag.\n5. On 429 or error code 8, back off exponentially with jitter. No Retry-After header is documented.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Amazon Polly or Inworld Realtime TTS-2?\n\nAmazon Polly scores 73.6 (BB) on agent readiness against Inworld Realtime TTS-2's 58.3 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
