Description

Transcribes the audio from a medical dictation or conversation and applies any additional Request Parameters you choose to include in your request. In addition to many standard transcription features, Amazon Transcribe Medical provides you with a robust medical vocabulary and, optionally, content identification, which adds flags to personal health information (PHI). To learn more about these features, refer to How Amazon Transcribe Medical works. To make a StartMedicalTranscriptionJob request, you must first upload your media file into an Amazon S3 bucket; you can then specify the S3 location of the file using the Media parameter. You must include the following parameters in your StartMedicalTranscriptionJob request:
  • region: The Amazon Web Services Region where you are making your request. For a list of Amazon Web Services Regions supported with Amazon Transcribe, refer to Amazon Transcribe endpoints and quotas.
  • MedicalTranscriptionJobName: A custom name you create for your transcription job that is unique within your Amazon Web Services account.
  • Media (MediaFileUri): The Amazon S3 location of your media file.
  • LanguageCode: This must be en-US.
  • OutputBucketName: The Amazon S3 bucket where you want your transcript stored. If you want your output stored in a sub-folder of this bucket, you must also include OutputKey.
  • Specialty: This must be PRIMARYCARE.
  • Type: Choose whether your audio is a conversation or a dictation.

Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-KMSEncryptionContext <Hashtable>
A map of plain text, non-secret key:value pairs, known as encryption context pairs, that provide an added layer of security for your data. For more information, see KMS encryption context and Asymmetric keys in KMS.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-LanguageCode <LanguageCode>
The language code that represents the language spoken in the input media file. US English (en-US) is the only valid value for medical transcription jobs. Any other value you enter for language code results in a BadRequestException error.
Required?True
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Media_MediaFileUri <String>
The Amazon S3 location of the media file you want to transcribe. For example:
  • s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/my-media-file.flac
  • s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/media-files/my-media-file.flac
Note that the Amazon S3 bucket that contains your input media must be located in the same Amazon Web Services Region where you're making your transcription request.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Media_RedactedMediaFileUri <String>
The Amazon S3 location of the media file you want to redact. For example:
  • s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/my-media-file.flac
  • s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/media-files/my-media-file.flac
Note that the Amazon S3 bucket that contains your input media must be located in the same Amazon Web Services Region where you're making your transcription request.RedactedMediaFileUri produces a redacted audio file in addition to a redacted transcript. It is only supported for Call Analytics (StartCallAnalyticsJob) transcription requests.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-MediaFormat <MediaFormat>
Specify the format of your input media file.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-MediaSampleRateHertz <Int32>
The sample rate, in hertz, of the audio track in your input media file.If you don't specify the media sample rate, Amazon Transcribe Medical determines it for you. If you specify the sample rate, it must match the rate detected by Amazon Transcribe Medical; if there's a mismatch between the value that you specify and the value detected, your job fails. Therefore, in most cases, it's advised to omit MediaSampleRateHertz and let Amazon Transcribe Medical determine the sample rate.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-MedicalTranscriptionJobName <String>
A unique name, chosen by you, for your medical transcription job. The name that you specify is also used as the default name of your transcription output file. If you want to specify a different name for your transcription output, use the OutputKey parameter.This name is case sensitive, cannot contain spaces, and must be unique within an Amazon Web Services account. If you try to create a new job with the same name as an existing job, you get a ConflictException error.
Required?True
Position?1
Accept pipeline input?True (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
-OutputBucketName <String>
The name of the Amazon S3 bucket where you want your medical transcription output stored. Do not include the S3:// prefix of the specified bucket.If you want your output to go to a sub-folder of this bucket, specify it using the OutputKey parameter; OutputBucketName only accepts the name of a bucket.For example, if you want your output stored in S3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET, set OutputBucketName to DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET. However, if you want your output stored in S3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/test-files/, set OutputBucketName to DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET and OutputKey to test-files/.Note that Amazon Transcribe must have permission to use the specified location. You can change Amazon S3 permissions using the Amazon Web Services Management Console. See also Permissions Required for IAM User Roles.

-OutputEncryptionKMSKeyId <String>
The KMS key you want to use to encrypt your medical transcription output.If using a key located in the current Amazon Web Services account, you can specify your KMS key in one of four ways:
  1. Use the KMS key ID itself. For example, 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
  2. Use an alias for the KMS key ID. For example, alias/ExampleAlias.
  3. Use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the KMS key ID. For example, arn:aws:kms:region:account-ID:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
  4. Use the ARN for the KMS key alias. For example, arn:aws:kms:region:account-ID:alias/ExampleAlias.
If using a key located in a different Amazon Web Services account than the current Amazon Web Services account, you can specify your KMS key in one of two ways:
  1. Use the ARN for the KMS key ID. For example, arn:aws:kms:region:account-ID:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.
  2. Use the ARN for the KMS key alias. For example, arn:aws:kms:region:account-ID:alias/ExampleAlias.
If you don't specify an encryption key, your output is encrypted with the default Amazon S3 key (SSE-S3).If you specify a KMS key to encrypt your output, you must also specify an output location using the OutputLocation parameter.Note that the role making the request must have permission to use the specified KMS key.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-OutputKey <String>
Use in combination with OutputBucketName to specify the output location of your transcript and, optionally, a unique name for your output file. The default name for your transcription output is the same as the name you specified for your medical transcription job (MedicalTranscriptionJobName).Here are some examples of how you can use OutputKey:
  • If you specify 'DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET' as the OutputBucketName and 'my-transcript.json' as the OutputKey, your transcription output path is s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/my-transcript.json.
  • If you specify 'my-first-transcription' as the MedicalTranscriptionJobName, 'DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET' as the OutputBucketName, and 'my-transcript' as the OutputKey, your transcription output path is s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/my-transcript/my-first-transcription.json.
  • If you specify 'DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET' as the OutputBucketName and 'test-files/my-transcript.json' as the OutputKey, your transcription output path is s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/test-files/my-transcript.json.
  • If you specify 'my-first-transcription' as the MedicalTranscriptionJobName, 'DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET' as the OutputBucketName, and 'test-files/my-transcript' as the OutputKey, your transcription output path is s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/test-files/my-transcript/my-first-transcription.json.
If you specify the name of an Amazon S3 bucket sub-folder that doesn't exist, one is created for you.

Specifying the name of a property of type Amazon.TranscribeService.Model.StartMedicalTranscriptionJobResponse will result in that property being returned. Specifying -Select '^ParameterName' will result in the cmdlet returning the selected cmdlet parameter value.
Required?False
Position?Named
Accept pipeline input?True (ByPropertyName)
-Settings_ChannelIdentification <Boolean>
