Describe the bug

I am trying to build a text-to-speech feature which will be able to read long articles. I found voice name 'Patrick, Male' suitable for my use case (tested on the console). When I try to pass the VoiceId from my Node.js application, the IDE prompts me that the VoiceId does not exist in the model.

        // Voice Id for Patrick is missing from the model (This will result in an error):
        VoiceId: VoiceId.Patrick,
      };

      // Start speech synthesis task

Hey @anujgawde ,

It seems that you are using this StartSpeechSynthesisTaskCommand from @aws-sdk/client-polly.

I just checked VoiceId page in AWS JS SDK doc, it seems that AWS JS SDK doesn't support Patrick VoiceId.

Please choose other preferred VoiceId.

Thanks!
Maggie

Hey @zshzbh ,

Thanks for sharing the info! I’ll update the implementation and choose an alternate VoiceId from the supported options. Appreciate the heads-up!

Best regards,
Anuj
