  • About - Amazon Transcribe is an automatic speech recognition service that uses machine learning models to convert audio to text. You can use Amazon Transcribe as a standalone transcription service or to add speech-to-text capabilities to any application. With Amazon Transcribe, you can improve accuracy for your specific use case with language customization, filter content to ensure customer privacy or audience-appropriate language, analyze content in multi-channel audio, differentiate the speech of individual speakers, and more.
  • Models - Custom language models are designed to improve transcription accuracy for domain-specific speech. This includes any content outside of what you would hear in normal, everyday conversations. For example, if you're transcribing the proceedings from a scientific conference, a standard transcription is unlikely to recognize many of the scientific terms used by presenters. In this case, you can train a custom language model to recognize the specialized terms used in your discipline. Unlike custom vocabularies, which increase recognition of a word by providing hints (such as pronunciations), custom language models learn the context associated with a given word. This includes how and when a word is used, and the relationship a word has to other words. For example, if you train your model using climate science research papers, your model may learn that 'ice floe' is a more likely word pair than 'ice flow'.
  • Languages - Amazon Transcribe supports English, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, and other languages, which can be used as requested. See here for additional language support and their language reference.
  • Features - Amazon Transcribe is an automatic speech recognition service that makes it easy to add speech to text capabilities to any application.

    • Audio inputs - Transcribe is designed to process live and recorded audio or video input to provide high quality transcriptions for search and analysis. We also offer separate APIs that uniquely understand customer calls (Amazon Transcribe Call Analytics) and medical conversations (Amazon Transcribe Medical). Streaming & batch transcription You can process your existing audio recordings or stream the audio for real-time transcription. Using a secure connection, you can send a live audio stream to the service, and receive a stream of text in response. Audio inputs Domain specific models Select a model that is tuned to telephone calls or multimedia video content. For example, Transcribe adapts to low-fidelity phone audio common in contact centers. Automatic language identification With Amazon Transcribe, you can automatically identify the dominant language in an audio file and generate transcriptions. This is useful when your media library contains audio files in different languages. You can also use this feature for media content classification and verify that the main spoken language in your videos and podcasts is correctly labeled.
    • Easy to read transcripts - Amazon Transcribe enables you produce accurate transcripts that are easy to read, review, and integrate into your specific applications. We work to make the output ready for downstream activities such as call transcript analysis, subtitling, and content search. Punctuation & number normalization Amazon Transcribe automatically adds punctuation and number formatting, so that the output closely matches the quality of manual transcription at a fraction of the time and expense. Numbers are also transcribed into digits or “normal form” instead of words. Easy to read transcripts Timestamp generation Amazon Transcribe returns a timestamp for each word, so that you can easily find a word or phrase in the original recording or add subtitles to video. Recognize multiple speakers Speaker changes are automatically recognized and attributed in the text to capture scenarios like telephone calls, meetings, and television shows accurately. To learn more about speaker identification. Channel identification Contact centers can submit a single audio file to Amazon Transcribe, and the service will identify produce a single transcript annotated by channel labels automatically.
    • Customize your output - Accuracy is critical and we provide you many options to customize transcripts to your specific business needs and vernacular. Transcribe also provides up to 10 alternative transcriptions for each sentence, so you can quickly choose the best option that applies to your content and domain. This is useful for human in-the-loop subtitling workflows. Custom vocabulary With custom vocabulary, you can add new words to the base vocabulary to generate more accurate transcriptions for domain-specific words and phrases like product names, technical terminology, or names of individuals. Customize your output Custom language models When needed, you can build and train your own custom language model (CLM) for your use case and domain by submitting a corpus of text data to Amazon Transcribe. CLM is a suitable feature for enhancing speech recognition accuracy with your own data.
    • User safety & privacy features - Ensuring customer privacy and safety is critical. When needed, Transcribe enables you to mask or remove words that are sensitive or unsuitable for your audience from transcription results. Vocabulary filtering You can specify a list of words to remove from transcripts with vocabulary filtering. For example, you can specify a list of profane or offensive words and Amazon Transcribe removes them from transcripts automatically. User safety & privacy features Automatic content redaction / PII redaction When instructed, Amazon Transcribe can help customers identify and redact sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) from the supported language transcripts. This allows contact centers to easily review and share the transcripts for customer experience insight and agent training. Data Protection Secure data at rest using Amazon S3 key (SSE-S3) or specify your own AWS Key Management Service key. Amazon Transcribe uses TLS (Transport Layer Security) 1.2, a cryptographic protocol that enables authenticated connections and secure data transport over the internet via HTTP, with AWS certificates to encrypt data in transit. This includes streaming transcription.
