Amazon Transcribe Now Supports Real-Time Transcriptions

Posted on: Nov 19, 2018

Amazon Transcribe now includes streaming transcription, a new feature that enables users to receive text transcripts from live audio streams in real time. 

Amazon Transcribe, an automatic speech recognition (ASR) service, makes it easy for developers to add speech-to-text to applications without requiring any machine learning skills. You can now use streaming transcription to efficiently and accurately capture transcripts for diverse use cases such as record keeping in finance and insurance, adding subtitles to live media broadcasts, as well as capturing customer feedback in contact centers.

To try streaming transcription, download the AWS SDK. You can reference this blog post to get started with a sample applicaton. Learn more about this new feature in the documentation.
