Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

LanguageCode

The language code for the language used in the input media file.

Type: String

Valid Values: en-US | es-US | en-AU | fr-CA | en-GB | de-DE | pt-BR | fr-FR | it-IT | ko-KR

Required: Yes

Media

An object that describes the input media for a transcription job.

Type: Media object

Required: Yes

MediaFormat

The format of the input media file.

Type: String

Valid Values: mp3 | mp4 | wav | flac

Required: Yes

MediaSampleRateHertz

The sample rate, in Hertz, of the audio track in the input media file.

Type: Integer

Valid Range: Minimum value of 8000. Maximum value of 48000.

Required: No

OutputBucketName

The location where the transcription is stored.

If you set the OutputBucketName, Amazon Transcribe puts the transcription in the specified S3 bucket. When you call the GetTranscriptionJob operation, the operation returns this location in the TranscriptFileUri field. The S3 bucket must have permissions that allow Amazon Transcribe to put files in the bucket. For more information, see Permissions Required for IAM User Roles.

Amazon Transcribe uses the default Amazon S3 key for server-side encryption of transcripts that are placed in your S3 bucket. You can't specify your own encryption key.

If you don't set the OutputBucketName, Amazon Transcribe generates a pre-signed URL, a shareable URL that provides secure access to your transcription, and returns it in the TranscriptFileUri field. Use this URL to download the transcription.

Type: String

Pattern: [a-z0-9][\.\-a-z0-9]{1,61}[a-z0-9]

Required: No

Settings

A Settings object that provides optional settings for a transcription job.

Type: Settings object

Required: No

TranscriptionJobName

The name of the job. Note that you can't use the strings "." or ".." by themselves as the job name. The name must also be unique within an AWS account.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 200.

Pattern: ^[0-9a-zA-Z._-]+

Required: Yes
