Response Structure

(dict) --
- Status (string) --
  
  The requested status of the jobs returned.
- NextToken (string) --
  
  The ListTranscriptionJobs operation returns a page of jobs at a time. The maximum size of the page is set by the MaxResults parameter. If there are more jobs in the list than the page size, Amazon Transcribe returns the NextPage token. Include the token in the next request to the ListTranscriptionJobs operation to return in the next page of jobs.
- TranscriptionJobSummaries (list) --
  
  A list of objects containing summary information for a transcription job.
  - (dict) --
    
    Provides a summary of information about a transcription job.
    - TranscriptionJobName (string) --
      
      The name of the transcription job.
    - CreationTime (datetime) --
      
      A timestamp that shows when the job was created.
    - CompletionTime (datetime) --
      
      A timestamp that shows when the job was completed.
    - LanguageCode (string) --
      
      The language code for the input speech.
    - TranscriptionJobStatus (string) --
      
      The status of the transcription job. When the status is COMPLETED, use the GetTranscriptionJob operation to get the results of the transcription.
    - FailureReason (string) --
      
      If the TranscriptionJobStatus field is FAILED, a description of the error.
    - OutputLocationType (string) --
      
      Indicates the location of the output of the transcription job.
      
      If the value is CUSTOMER_BUCKET then the location is the S3 bucket specified in the outputBucketName field when the transcription job was started with the StartTranscriptionJob operation.
      
      If the value is SERVICE_BUCKET then the output is stored by Amazon Transcribe and can be retrieved using the URI in the GetTranscriptionJob response's TranscriptFileUri field.

    }
)

type TranscriptionJobName:

string

param TranscriptionJobName:

[REQUIRED]

The name of the job. You can't use the strings "." or ".." in the job name. The name must be unique within an AWS account.

type LanguageCode:

string

param LanguageCode:

[REQUIRED]

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

type MediaSampleRateHertz:

integer

param MediaSampleRateHertz:

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

type MediaFormat:

string

param MediaFormat:

[REQUIRED]

The format of the input media file.

type Media:

dict

param Media:

[REQUIRED]

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

MediaFileUri (string) --

The S3 location of the input media file. The URI must be in the same region as the API endpoint that you are calling. The general form is:

https://<aws-region>.amazonaws.com/<bucket-name>/<keyprefix>/<objectkey>

For example:

https://s3-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/examplebucket/example.mp4

https://s3-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/examplebucket/mediadocs/example.mp4

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

type OutputBucketName:

string

param 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.

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 Settings:

dict

param Settings:

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

VocabularyName (string) --

The name of a vocabulary to use when processing the transcription job.
ShowSpeakerLabels (boolean) --

Determines whether the transcription job should use speaker recognition to identify different speakers in the input audio. If you set the ShowSpeakerLabels field to true, you must also set the maximum number of speaker labels MaxSpeakerLabels field.
MaxSpeakerLabels (integer) --

The maximum number of speakers to identify in the input audio. If there are more speakers in the audio than this number, multiple speakers will be identified as a single speaker. If you specify the MaxSpeakerLabels field, you must set the ShowSpeakerLabels field to true.
