On February 8, we released the Amazon Polly plugin for WordPress, which enables you to easily voice content and publish podcasts directly from your website. By leveraging audio, you can provide your readers with an alternative way to consume your content and meet the needs of a larger audience. Today, we're excited to announce that the Amazon Polly plugin is now available on the popular Bitnami Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). On the AWS Marketplace, you can find the up-to-date WordPress image packaged by Bitnami and WordPress Multisite image packaged by Bitnami, which come preinstalled with the Amazon Polly WordPress plugin. Other Bitnami solutions, such as WordPress for Production or WordPress Multi-Tier, will also include the plugin soon.

Today AWS in partnership with WP Engine is announcing the release of an Amazon Polly plugin for WordPress. The sample plugin enables WordPress creators to easily add Text-to-Speech capabilities to written content. As voice interaction becomes more common, it's essential to provide your website's content in audio formats. And, visitors who are drawn to your websites by voice capabilities can now consume your content through new channels, such as inline audio players and mobile podcast applications. Now your readers and listeners can listen to your posts, even while they are away from the screen – driving, riding a bike, or even jogging.
