Additional details
Inputs
- Summary
Accepts mono 16 kHz WAV/FLAC audio via multipart/form-data, raw audio (audio/*), or JSON with base64. Routing: default auto (HTTP unless payload >4 MB → gRPC). You can force routing with the SageMaker header X-Amzn-SageMaker-Custom-Attributes set to /invocations/http or /invocations/grpc. Optional flag enable_word_time_offsets returns per-word timestamps (gRPC payload shape).
- Input MIME type
- multipart/form-data
Input data descriptions
The following table describes supported input data fields for real-time inference and batch transform.
Field name | Description | Constraints | Required |

audio_base64 | Audio payload when using application/json. | Base64-encoded WAV/FLAC (mono 16 kHz, PCM 16-bit) | Yes |
language_code | Language hint (English supported). | en-US | No |
enable_word_time_offsets | Include per-word timestamps and confidence (structured output—gRPC route shape). | "true" / "false" (or boolean if JSON) | No |
