responseContentType

The message that Amazon Lex V2 returns in the response can be either text or speech based on the responseContentType value.

  • If the value is text/plain;charset=utf-8, Amazon Lex V2 returns text in the response.

For example, if you specify audio/mpeg as the value, Amazon Lex V2 returns speech in the MPEG format.

  • If the value is audio/pcm, the speech returned is audio/pcm in 16-bit, little-endian format.

  • The following are the accepted values:

    • audio/mpeg

    • audio/ogg

    • audio/pcm

    • audio/* (defaults to mpeg)
