About Amazon Nova Sonic
Amazon Nova Sonic is a speech-to-speech foundation model on Amazon Bedrock that enables real-time, human-like voice conversations for AI applications and agents, processing both speech input and output in a single unified model without chaining separate ASR and TTS components. It detects tone, emotion, and speaking style to adapt response prosody and intonation dynamically, handles natural pauses, hesitations, and barge-ins, and supports function calling and RAG for grounding responses in enterprise data. It achieves 4.2% word error rate across five languages, 1.09-second average perceived latency, and is priced approximately 80% lower than GPT-4o voice, making it practical for customer support, voice agents, and conversational AI products.
