**To synthesize text**

The following ``start-speech-synthesis-task`` example synthesizes the text in ``text_file.txt`` and stores the resulting MP3 file in the specified bucket. ::

    aws polly start-speech-synthesis-task \
        --output-format mp3 \
        --output-s3-bucket-name my-s3-bucket \
        --text  file://text_file.txt \
        --voice-id Joanna

Output::

    {
        "SynthesisTask": {
            "TaskId": "70b61c0f-57ce-4715-a247-cae8729dcce9",
