The AWS Polly Speech Action Component is to read out text using AWS Polly text-to-speech. Amazon Polly converts input text into life-like speech. This functionality can also be useful for debugging purposes.
Note that this functionality may not be available for your operating system. Playing sounds is currently supported under Windows and Linux, but not yet on macOS.
