I know it has been a while. I will post anyway.
I have just been on the computer for a couple of hours, trial-and-error-ing my way through Amazon Web Services and their manuals. I have Amazon Polly partway installed on my pc. I've run into setup issues. I can't reset the output format to blank, and before that I tested the instructions provided in the manual only to run into an error about a security token.
Mr. Fishlicka, if you're reading this, you deserve all the more credit for having somehow gotten through all this, to get Amazon Polly Set up, securely enough to use it for Mrs. Slitherss's voice.

If anyone is reading this who is familiar with AWS and the setup process, and who has done this song and dance before with Amazon Polly specifically, I eagerly request your merciful assistance.
