Amazon Transcribe

Amazon Transcribe — batch transcription jobs: start, poll to completion, list, and delete, with the transcript written back to S3 in the real result format.

JSON-RPC (X-Amz-Target) multi-tenant 9 operations

Quick start

CloudFormation

No CloudFormation resource types map to this service yet. Resources can still be created via the SDK or CLI.

Known limitations

  • No speech recognition — the transcript is deterministic canned text keyed on a digest of the media URI, so integration tests are reproducible; job pacing is tunable with TRANSCRIBE_JOB_RUN_SECONDS (default 2, 0 completes immediately).
  • Batch jobs only: streaming transcription, the call-analytics and medical job families, custom vocabularies and the tagging operations are not implemented.
