Amazon Lex Overview

What is Amazon Lex?

Amazon Lex is a service for building conversational interfaces into any application using voice and text. Amazon Lex provides the advanced deep learning functionalities of automatic speech recognition (ASR) for converting speech to text, and natural language understanding (NLU) to recognize the intent of the text, to enable you to build applications with highly engaging user experiences and lifelike conversational interactions. With Amazon Lex, the same deep learning technologies that power Amazon Alexa are now available to any developer, enabling you to quickly and easily build sophisticated, natural language, conversational bots (“chatbots”). Speech recognition and natural language understanding are some of the most challenging problems to solve in computer science, requiring sophisticated deep learning algorithms to be trained on massive amounts of data and infrastructure. Amazon Lex democratizes these deep learning technologies by putting the power of Amazon Alexa within reach of all developers. Harnessing these technologies, Amazon Lex enables you to define entirely new categories of products made possible through conversational interfaces. As a fully managed service, Amazon Lex scales automatically, so you don’t need to worry about managing infrastructure. With Amazon Lex, you pay only for what you use. There are no upfront commitments or minimum fees.

What do you like best about Amazon Lex?

Automatic speech recognition game changer!! This technology can be leveraged with other cloud services to automatically complete specific tasks. Saving time is something that is of major importance with a growing client and the Amazon Lex gives us more time for other tasks that cannot be automated with Alex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Lex?

The fact the API's weren't opened up until last year as the technology has been around for almost 10 years from what I understand. More tasks would save us all more time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Lex:

TRY IT! There is a free trial available on the AWS website and it's worth trying out for anyone who is using chats, leveraging Alexa, or otherwise wants to save time by having basic tasks completed automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Lex solving and how is that benefiting you?

Chatbots are being used to increase outbound lead generation usually as apart of a bigger sales strategy. This allows us to communicate in 17 languages with our clients in the way they want to communicate with us -- creating a more meaningful experience. If you've been to a tech show in the last 2 years, you know how important experiences and social media now are!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
