Amazon Lex is a service for building conversational interfaces into any application using voice and text. Amazon Lex provides automatic speech recognition (ASR) for converting speech to text, and natural language understanding (NLU) to recognize the intent of the text, so you can build applications with highly engaging user experiences and lifelike conversational interactions. With these new languages, you can expand your conversational experiences to better understand and engage your customer base. \
