AWS enables low-latency AI voice agents with Kokoro TTS streaming

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

AWS has introduced a method to reduce latency in AI voice agents by streaming speech synthesis as sentences are generated, rather than waiting for the entire response. This technique utilizes the Kokoro-82M text-to-speech model hosted on Amazon SageMaker AI, which is small enough to run efficiently on a single GPU instance. The solution involves deploying a custom container on a SageMaker real-time endpoint and implementing bidirectional streaming for both generation and audio playback. AI

IMPACT Enables more natural and responsive voice interactions with AI agents by reducing perceived latency.
