Polly preview page considers as invalid SSML

Question

On this preview page:  
https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/polly/home/SynthesizeSpeech  
  
I tried the below SSML, and got this warning  
  
----  
The input text contains invalid SSML syntax. Fix the SSML syntax, and then try again.

Earlier today we rolled out Amazon S3, our reliable, highly scalable, and low-latency data storage service. Using SOAP and REST interfaces, developers can easily store any number of blocks of data in S3. Each block can be up to 5 GB in length, and is associated with a user-defined key and additional key-value metadata pairs. Further, each block is protected by an ACL (Access Control List) allowing the developer to keep the data private, share it for reading, or share it for reading and writing, as desired. The system was designed to provide a data availability factor of 99.99%; all data is transparently stored in multiple locations.

Answer

Oh, I understand now -- the news SSML only works with two US voices.

Answer

Hi Gottleib,  
  
Thanks for your interest in Newscaster style in Amazon Polly.  
  
To clarify this even further:   
Newscaster style, namely:
 ``
 ...SSML tag works only with **Engine = neural** and **Matthew or Joanna** voices.  
  
You can find more information about using Newscaster style in Amazon Polly documentation:  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/ntts-newscaster.html  
  
Thanks,  
Hubert
