Properties

AudioStream: undefined | AsyncIterable<AudioStream>

An encoded stream of audio blobs. Audio streams are encoded as either HTTP/2 or WebSocket data frames.

For more information, see Transcribing streaming audio.

ContentIdentificationType?: string

Labels all personal health information (PHI) identified in your transcript.

Content identification is performed at the segment level; PHI is flagged upon complete transcription of an audio segment.

For more information, see Identifying personal health information (PHI) in a transcription.

EnableChannelIdentification?: boolean

Enables channel identification in multi-channel audio.

Channel identification transcribes the audio on each channel independently, then appends the output for each channel into one transcript.

If you have multi-channel audio and do not enable channel identification, your audio is transcribed in a continuous manner and your transcript is not separated by channel.

For more information, see Transcribing multi-channel audio.

LanguageCode: undefined | string

Specify the language code that represents the language spoken in your audio.

Amazon Transcribe Medical only supports US English (en-US).

  • PCM (only signed 16-bit little-endian audio formats, which does not include WAV)

For more information, see Media formats.

SessionId?: string

Specify a name for your transcription session. If you don't include this parameter in your request, Amazon Transcribe Medical generates an ID and returns it in the response.

ShowSpeakerLabel?: boolean
