Case Study: Initiafy achieves accessible, multilingual contractor onboarding and safety training with Amazon Polly

Create accessible training with Initiafy and Amazon Polly

Initiafy, a contractor management software provider with over 300,000 users worldwide, faced the challenge of delivering dense technical and safety training to a linguistically diverse, varying‑literacy heavy‑industry workforce. To overcome language barriers and support non‑readers, Initiafy used Amazon Polly to add spoken audio to course content.

Initiafy integrated Amazon Polly to synthesize slide text and hidden content into MP3s (stored in Amazon S3 and requested via their EC2 workflow), letting course creators choose language/voice, apply lexicons for correct pronunciation, and control playback (including gating progress until audio finishes). The result is a seamless, scalable audio reader that makes training accessible to multinational and low‑literacy workers, ensures technical terms are pronounced correctly, and gives customers confidence that critical safety content is heard.
