Finding Polly Recordings

Hi,

I'd suggest you to watch this video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUd5M_mQaA0

It will tell you how to define voice generations (key parameters, etc.) and how to save archive it properly for later re-use

Best,

Didier

I understand your frustration with trying to find your previously created Amazon Polly recording. Unfortunately, Amazon Polly doesn't store the recordings you create. It's a text-to-speech service that generates audio on-demand, but doesn't save the audio files by default.

When you use the "Try it!" feature on the Amazon Polly console, it generates the audio in real-time based on the text you input, but it doesn't save these recordings for later retrieval or editing.

To update your voicemail greeting, you'll need to:

1. Go back to the Amazon Polly console.
2. Use the "Try it!" feature again.
3. Input the text for your new greeting.
4. Select the voice you want to use (you mentioned you found the perfect voice before, so you'll need to select it again).
5. Generate the audio.
6. Save the audio file to your local device.

If you don't remember the exact voice you used before, you may need to experiment with different voices to find the one that matches your previous recording.

For future reference, it's a good practice to save the text of your recording and note which voice you used, so you can easily recreate or update it later. Also, always download and save the audio file generated by Polly if you plan to use it long-term, as Amazon Polly doesn't store these files for you.
