Researchers looking for a solution to build real-time, multimodal AI applications that require low-latency voice and video interactions
About Gemini Live API
The Gemini Live API is a preview feature that enables low-latency, bidirectional voice and video interactions with Gemini. It allows end users to experience natural, human-like voice conversations and provides the ability to interrupt the model's responses using voice commands. The model can process text, audio, and video input, and it can provide text and audio output. New capabilities include two new voices and 30 new languages with configurable output language, configurable image resolutions (66/256 tokens), configurable turn coverage (send all inputs all the time or only when the user is speaking), configurable interruption settings, configurable voice activity detection, new client events for end-of-turn signaling, token counts, a client event for signaling the end of stream, text streaming, configurable session resumption with session data stored on the server for 24 hours, and longer session support with a sliding context window.

Gemini 3.1 Flash Live
Gemini 3.1 Flash Live is Google’s most advanced real-time audio model, designed to deliver natural, reliable, and low-latency voice interactions for the next generation of conversational AI. It is optimized for real-time dialogue, enabling fluid, human-like conversations with improved precision, faster response times, and a more natural rhythm that better reflects how people actually speak. It enhances tonal understanding, allowing it to recognize nuances such as pitch, pace, and emotional cues, and dynamically adapt responses to user intent, including frustration or confusion. Built for both developers and enterprises, it can be accessed through the Gemini Live API in Google AI Studio, as well as integrated into production environments to power voice-first agents capable of handling complex, multi-step tasks at scale. It supports multimodal inputs including text, audio, images, and video, and produces both text and audio outputs, enabling richer, context-aware interactions.

Amazon Polly
Amazon Polly is a service that turns text into lifelike speech, allowing you to create applications that talk, and build entirely new categories of speech-enabled products. Polly's Text-to-Speech (TTS) service uses advanced deep learning technologies to synthesize natural sounding human speech. With dozens of lifelike voices across a broad set of languages, you can build speech-enabled applications that work in many different countries.
In addition to Standard TTS voices, Amazon Polly offers Neural Text-to-Speech (NTTS) voices that deliver advanced improvements in speech quality through a new machine learning approach. Polly’s Neural TTS technology also supports two speaking styles that allow you to better match the delivery style of the speaker to the application: a Newscaster reading style that is tailored to news narration use cases, and a Conversational speaking style that is ideal for two-way communication like telephony applications.
