## Working with the API

Generate an audio buffer for playback from a text input.

```ts
import { Predictions } from '@aws-amplify/predictions';

const result = await Predictions.convert({
  textToSpeech: {
    source: {
      text: textToGenerateSpeech
    },
    voiceId: "Amy" 
  }
})
```

To view the complete list of voiceId options refer to [Voices in Amazon Polly](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/voicelist.html).
