I'm considering using Amazon Polly's Text-To-Speech (TTS) but want to evaluate how natural it really sounds with arbitrary examples (not the ones carefully curated by Amazon marketing folks).
All I've found is a very limited youtube video (just a few seconds in each of the languages)

Yes, as part of the AWS Free Usage Tier, you can get started with Amazon Polly for free. Upon sign-up, new Amazon Polly customers can synthesize millions of characters for free each month for the first 12 months.
Amazon Polly is undoubtedly the best text-to-speech software there is. It converts cloud-based text to such real-life speech that it is almost unbelievable. It is unlike any other robotic or AI-based speech converter and more. It is easy to use and has a fantastic user interface.
The generated audio can be up to 6 hours long, and is typically ready within minutes. In addition to 100,000 characters of text, each request can include an additional 100,000 characters of Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) markup.
