type MedicalTranscriptionJobName:

string

param MedicalTranscriptionJobName:

[REQUIRED]

The name of the medical transcription job. You can't use the strings " ." or " .." by themselves as the job name. The name must also be unique within an Amazon Web Services account. If you try to create a medical transcription job with the same name as a previous medical transcription job, you get a ConflictException error.

type LanguageCode:

string

param LanguageCode:

[REQUIRED]

The language code for the language spoken in the input media file. US English (en-US) is the valid value for medical transcription jobs. Any other value you enter for language code results in a BadRequestException error.

type MediaSampleRateHertz:

integer

param MediaSampleRateHertz:

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

If you do not specify the media sample rate, Amazon Transcribe Medical determines the sample rate. If you specify the sample rate, it must match the rate detected by Amazon Transcribe Medical. In most cases, you should leave the MediaSampleRateHertz field blank and let Amazon Transcribe Medical determine the sample rate.

type MediaFormat:

string

param MediaFormat:

The audio format of the input media file.

type Media:

dict

param Media:

[REQUIRED]

Describes the input media file in a transcription request.

  • MediaFileUri (string) --

    The S3 object 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:

    For example:

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

  • RedactedMediaFileUri (string) --

    The S3 object location for your redacted output media file. This is only supported for call analytics jobs.

type OutputBucketName:

string

param OutputBucketName:

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon S3 location where the transcription is stored.

You must set OutputBucketName for Amazon Transcribe Medical to store the transcription results. Your transcript appears in the S3 location you specify. When you call the GetMedicalTranscriptionJob, the operation returns this location in the TranscriptFileUri field. The S3 bucket must have permissions that allow Amazon Transcribe Medical to put files in the bucket. For more information, see Permissions Required for IAM User Roles.

You can specify an Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (KMS) key to encrypt the output of your transcription using the OutputEncryptionKMSKeyId parameter. If you don't specify a KMS key, Amazon Transcribe Medical uses the default Amazon S3 key for server-side encryption of transcripts that are placed in your S3 bucket.

type OutputKey:

string

param OutputKey:

You can specify a location in an Amazon S3 bucket to store the output of your medical transcription job.

If you don't specify an output key, Amazon Transcribe Medical stores the output of your transcription job in the Amazon S3 bucket you specified. By default, the object key is "your-transcription-job-name.json".

You can use output keys to specify the Amazon S3 prefix and file name of the transcription output. For example, specifying the Amazon S3 prefix, "folder1/folder2/", as an output key would lead to the output being stored as "folder1/folder2/your-transcription-job-name.json". If you specify "my-other-job-name.json" as the output key, the object key is changed to "my-other-job-name.json". You can use an output key to change both the prefix and the file name, for example "folder/my-other-job-name.json".

If you specify an output key, you must also specify an S3 bucket in the OutputBucketName parameter.

type OutputEncryptionKMSKeyId:

string

param OutputEncryptionKMSKeyId:

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (KMS) key used to encrypt the output of the transcription job. The user calling the StartMedicalTranscriptionJob operation must have permission to use the specified KMS key.

You use either of the following to identify a KMS key in the current account:

  • KMS Key ID: "1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"

  • KMS Key Alias: "alias/ExampleAlias"

You can use either of the following to identify a KMS key in the current account or another account:

  • Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a KMS key in the current account or another account: "arn:aws:kms:region:account ID:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"

  • ARN of a KMS Key Alias: "arn:aws:kms:region:account ID:alias/ExampleAlias"

If you don't specify an encryption key, the output of the medical transcription job 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 in the OutputBucketName parameter.

type KMSEncryptionContext:

dict

param KMSEncryptionContext:

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.

  • (string) --

    • (string) --

type Settings:

dict

param Settings:

Optional settings for the medical transcription job.

  • ShowSpeakerLabels (boolean) --

    Determines whether the transcription job uses speaker recognition to identify different speakers in the input audio. Speaker recognition labels individual speakers in the audio file. If you set the ShowSpeakerLabels field to true, you must also set the maximum number of speaker labels in the MaxSpeakerLabels field.

    You can't set both ShowSpeakerLabels and ChannelIdentification in the same request. If you set both, your request returns a BadRequestException.

  • 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 are identified as a single speaker. If you specify the MaxSpeakerLabels field, you must set the ShowSpeakerLabels field to true.

  • ChannelIdentification (boolean) --

    Instructs Amazon Transcribe Medical to process each audio channel separately and then merge the transcription output of each channel into a single transcription.

    Amazon Transcribe Medical also produces a transcription of each item detected on an audio channel, including the start time and end time of the item and alternative transcriptions of item. The alternative transcriptions also come with confidence scores provided by Amazon Transcribe Medical.

    You can't set both ShowSpeakerLabels and ChannelIdentification in the same request. If you set both, your request returns a BadRequestException

  • ShowAlternatives (boolean) --

    Determines whether alternative transcripts are generated along with the transcript that has the highest confidence. If you set ShowAlternatives field to true, you must also set the maximum number of alternatives to return in the MaxAlternatives field.

  • MaxAlternatives (integer) --

    The maximum number of alternatives that you tell the service to return. If you specify the MaxAlternatives field, you must set the ShowAlternatives field to true.

  • VocabularyName (string) --

    The name of the vocabulary to use when processing a medical transcription job.

type ContentIdentificationType:

string

param ContentIdentificationType:

To transcribe speech in Modern Standard Arabic (ar-SA), your audio or video file must be encoded at a sample rate of 16,000 Hz or higher.

type MediaSampleRateHertz:

integer

param MediaSampleRateHertz:

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

If you do not specify the media sample rate, Amazon Transcribe determines the sample rate. If you specify the sample rate, it must match the sample rate detected by Amazon Transcribe. In most cases, you should leave the MediaSampleRateHertz field blank and let Amazon Transcribe determine the sample rate.

type MediaFormat:

string

param MediaFormat:

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 object 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:

    For example:

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

  • RedactedMediaFileUri (string) --

    The S3 object location for your redacted output media file. This is only supported for call analytics jobs.

type OutputBucketName:

string

param OutputBucketName:

The location where the transcription is stored.

If you set the OutputBucketName, Amazon Transcribe puts the transcript in the specified S3 bucket. When you call the GetTranscriptionJob operation, the operation returns this location in the TranscriptFileUri field. If you enable content redaction, the redacted transcript appears in RedactedTranscriptFileUri. If you enable content redaction and choose to output an unredacted transcript, that transcript's location still appears in the TranscriptFileUri. 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.

You can specify an Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (KMS) key to encrypt the output of your transcription using the OutputEncryptionKMSKeyId parameter. If you don't specify a KMS key, Amazon Transcribe uses the default Amazon S3 key for server-side encryption of transcripts that are placed in your S3 bucket.

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 OutputKey:

string

param OutputKey:

You can specify a location in an Amazon S3 bucket to store the output of your transcription job.

If you don't specify an output key, Amazon Transcribe stores the output of your transcription job in the Amazon S3 bucket you specified. By default, the object key is "your-transcription-job-name.json".

You can use output keys to specify the Amazon S3 prefix and file name of the transcription output. For example, specifying the Amazon S3 prefix, "folder1/folder2/", as an output key would lead to the output being stored as "folder1/folder2/your-transcription-job-name.json". If you specify "my-other-job-name.json" as the output key, the object key is changed to "my-other-job-name.json". You can use an output key to change both the prefix and the file name, for example "folder/my-other-job-name.json".

If you specify an output key, you must also specify an S3 bucket in the OutputBucketName parameter.

type OutputEncryptionKMSKeyId:

string

param OutputEncryptionKMSKeyId:

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (KMS) key used to encrypt the output of the transcription job. The user calling the StartTranscriptionJob operation must have permission to use the specified KMS key.

You can use either of the following to identify a KMS key in the current account:

  • KMS Key ID: "1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"

  • KMS Key Alias: "alias/ExampleAlias"

You can use either of the following to identify a KMS key in the current account or another account:

param ModelSettings:

Choose the custom language model you use for your transcription job in this parameter.

  • LanguageModelName (string) --

    The name of your custom language model.

type JobExecutionSettings:

dict

param JobExecutionSettings:

Provides information about how a transcription job is executed. Use this field to indicate that the job can be queued for deferred execution if the concurrency limit is reached and there are no slots available to immediately run the job.

  • AllowDeferredExecution (boolean) --

    Indicates whether a job should be queued by Amazon Transcribe when the concurrent execution limit is exceeded. When the AllowDeferredExecution field is true, jobs are queued and executed when the number of executing jobs falls below the concurrent execution limit. If the field is false, Amazon Transcribe returns a LimitExceededException exception.

    Note that job queuing is enabled by default for call analytics jobs.

    If you specify the AllowDeferredExecution field, you must specify the DataAccessRoleArn field.

  • DataAccessRoleArn (string) --

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a role that has access to the S3 bucket that contains the input files. Amazon Transcribe assumes this role to read queued media files.
