Support for Polly windows SAPI plugin

AWS Polly does not directly support SAPI (Speech Application Programming Interface) for Windows. SAPI is a Windows-specific technology that allows applications to use speech synthesis and recognition functionality.

The decision to discontinue support for the Polly SAPI Windows plugin may have been influenced by factors such as changes in technology trends, evolving customer needs, or resource allocation within AWS. Without specific information from AWS, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact reasons for dropping support.

However, there are alternative approaches you can consider to integrate Polly voices into Windows applications:

Direct Integration: Instead of relying on SAPI, you can use the AWS SDKs or APIs to directly interact with the Polly service from your Windows application. This approach allows you to leverage Polly's text-to-speech capabilities programmatically without relying on SAPI. https://aws.amazon.com/polly/

Custom Integration: You can develop a custom solution that bridges Polly with SAPI on Windows. This would involve building an intermediary layer or application that communicates with Polly and exposes its voices as SAPI voices. While this approach requires additional development effort, it offers flexibility and control over the integration.
