For more information about S3 object names, see Object Keys in the Amazon S3 Developer Guide .

For more information about custom vocabularies, see Custom vocabularies .

--tags (list)

Adds one or more tags, each in the form of a key:value pair, to a new Amazon Transcribe vocabulary at the time you create this new vocabulary.

(structure)

A key:value pair that adds metadata to a resource used by Amazon Transcribe. For example, a tag with the key:value pair ‘Department’:’Sales’ might be added to a resource to indicate its use by your organization's sales department.

Key -> (string)

The first part of a key:value pair that forms a tag associated with a given resource. For example, in the tag ‘Department’:’Sales’, the key is 'Department'.

Value -> (string)

The second part of a key:value pair that forms a tag associated with a given resource. For example, in the tag ‘Department’:’Sales’, the value is 'Sales'.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To create a custom vocabulary

The following create-vocabulary example creates a custom vocabulary. To create a custom vocabulary, you must have created a text file with all the terms that you want to transcribe more accurately. For vocabulary-file-uri, specify the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) URI of that text file. For language-code, specify a language code corresponding to the language of your custom vocabulary. For vocabulary-name, specify what you want to call your custom vocabulary.

aws transcribe create-vocabulary \
    --language-code language-code \
    --vocabulary-name cli-vocab-example \
    --vocabulary-file-uri s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/Amazon-S3-prefix/the-text-file-for-the-custom-vocabulary.txt

Output:

{
    "VocabularyName": "cli-vocab-example",
    "LanguageCode": "language-code",
    "VocabularyState": "PENDING"
}

For more information, see Custom Vocabularies in the Amazon Transcribe Developer Guide.

Output

VocabularyName -> (string)

The name of the vocabulary.

LanguageCode -> (string)

The language code of the vocabulary entries.

VocabularyState -> (string)

The processing state of the vocabulary. When the VocabularyState field contains READY the vocabulary is ready to be used in a StartTranscriptionJob request.

LastModifiedTime -> (timestamp)

The date and time that the vocabulary was created.

FailureReason -> (string)

If the VocabularyState field is FAILED , this field contains information about why the job failed.
