start_call_analytics_job#

TranscribeService.Client.start_call_analytics_job(**kwargs)#

Transcribes the audio from a customer service call and applies any additional Request Parameters you choose to include in your request.

In addition to many standard transcription features, Call Analytics provides you with call characteristics, call summarization, speaker sentiment, and optional redaction of your text transcript and your audio file. You can also apply custom categories to flag specified conditions. To learn more about these features and insights, refer to Analyzing call center audio with Call Analytics.

If you want to apply categories to your Call Analytics job, you must create them before submitting your job request. Categories cannot be retroactively applied to a job. To create a new category, use the operation. To learn more about Call Analytics categories, see Creating categories for post-call transcriptions and Creating categories for real-time transcriptions.

To make a StartCallAnalyticsJob request, you must first upload your media file into an Amazon S3 bucket; you can then specify the Amazon S3 location of the file using the Media parameter.

Note that job queuing is enabled by default for Call Analytics jobs.

You must include the following parameters in your StartCallAnalyticsJob 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.

  • CallAnalyticsJobName: A custom name that you create for your transcription job that’s unique within your Amazon Web Services account.

  • DataAccessRoleArn: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an IAM role that has permissions to access the Amazon S3 bucket that contains your input files.

  • Media ( MediaFileUri or RedactedMediaFileUri): The Amazon S3 location of your media file.

Note

With Call Analytics, you can redact the audio contained in your media file by including RedactedMediaFileUri, instead of MediaFileUri, to specify the location of your input audio. If you choose to redact your audio, you can find your redacted media at the location specified in the RedactedMediaFileUri field of your response.

Parameters:
  • CallAnalyticsJobName (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    A unique name, chosen by you, for your Call Analytics job.

    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.

  • Media (dict) –

    [REQUIRED]

    Describes the Amazon S3 location of the media file you want to use in your Call Analytics request.

    • 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.

    • 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.

      Warning

      RedactedMediaFileUri produces a redacted audio file in addition to a redacted transcript. It is only supported for Call Analytics ( StartCallAnalyticsJob) transcription requests.

  • OutputLocation (string) –

    The Amazon S3 location where you want your Call Analytics transcription output stored. You can use any of the following formats to specify the output location:

    • s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET

    • s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/my-output-folder/

    • s3://DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/my-output-folder/my-call-analytics-job.json

    Unless you specify a file name (option 3), the name of your output file has a default value that matches the name you specified for your transcription job using the CallAnalyticsJobName parameter.

    You can specify a KMS key to encrypt your output using the OutputEncryptionKMSKeyId parameter. If you don’t specify a KMS key, Amazon Transcribe uses the default Amazon S3 key for server-side encryption.

    If you don’t specify OutputLocation, your transcript is placed in a service-managed Amazon S3 bucket and you are provided with a URI to access your transcript.

  • OutputEncryptionKMSKeyId (string) –

    The KMS key you want to use to encrypt your Call Analytics output.

    If using a key located in the current Amazon Web Services account, you can specify your KMS key in one of four ways:

    • Use the KMS key ID itself. For example, 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.

    • Use an alias for the KMS key ID. For example, alias/ExampleAlias.

    • 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.

    • 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:

    • Use the ARN for the KMS key ID. For example, arn:aws:kms:region:account-ID:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab.

    • 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.

  • DataAccessRoleArn (string) –

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of an IAM role that has permissions to access the Amazon S3 bucket that contains your input files. If the role that you specify doesn’t have the appropriate permissions to access the specified Amazon S3 location, your request fails.

    IAM role ARNs have the format arn:partition:iam::account:role/role-name-with-path. For example: arn:aws:iam::111122223333:role/Admin.

    For more information, see IAM ARNs.

  • Settings (dict) –

    Specify additional optional settings in your request, including content redaction; allows you to apply custom language models, vocabulary filters, and custom vocabularies to your Call Analytics job.

    • VocabularyName (string) –

      The name of the custom vocabulary you want to include in your Call Analytics transcription request. Custom vocabulary names are case sensitive.

    • VocabularyFilterName (string) –

      The name of the custom vocabulary filter you want to include in your Call Analytics transcription request. Custom vocabulary filter names are case sensitive.

      Note that if you include VocabularyFilterName in your request, you must also include VocabularyFilterMethod.

    • VocabularyFilterMethod (string) –

      Specify how you want your custom vocabulary filter applied to your transcript.

      To replace words with ***, choose mask.

      To delete words, choose remove.

      To flag words without changing them, choose tag.

    • LanguageModelName (string) –

      The name of the custom language model you want to use when processing your Call Analytics job. Note that custom language model names are case sensitive.

      The language of the specified custom language model must match the language code that you specify in your transcription request. If the languages don’t match, the custom language model isn’t applied. There are no errors or warnings associated with a language mismatch.

    • ContentRedaction (dict) –

      Makes it possible to redact or flag specified personally identifiable information (PII) in your transcript. If you use ContentRedaction, you must also include the sub-parameters: PiiEntityTypes, RedactionOutput, and RedactionType.

      • RedactionType (string) – [REQUIRED]

        Specify the category of information you want to redact; PII (personally identifiable information) is the only valid value. You can use PiiEntityTypes to choose which types of PII you want to redact.

      • RedactionOutput (string) – [REQUIRED]

        Specify if you want only a redacted transcript, or if you want a redacted and an unredacted transcript.

        When you choose redacted Amazon Transcribe creates only a redacted transcript.

        When you choose redacted_and_unredacted Amazon Transcribe creates a redacted and an unredacted transcript (as two separate files).

      • PiiEntityTypes (list) –

        Specify which types of personally identifiable information (PII) you want to redact in your transcript. You can include as many types as you’d like, or you can select ALL.

        • (string) –

    • LanguageOptions (list) –

      You can specify two or more language codes that represent the languages you think may be present in your media. Including more than five is not recommended. If you’re unsure what languages are present, do not include this parameter.

      Including language options can improve the accuracy of language identification.

      For a list of languages supported with Call Analytics, refer to the Supported languages table.

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

      • (string) –

    • LanguageIdSettings (dict) –

      If using automatic language identification in your request and you want to apply a custom language model, a custom vocabulary, or a custom vocabulary filter, include LanguageIdSettings with the relevant sub-parameters ( VocabularyName, LanguageModelName, and VocabularyFilterName).

      LanguageIdSettings supports two to five language codes. Each language code you include can have an associated custom language model, custom vocabulary, and custom vocabulary filter. The language codes that you specify must match the languages of the associated custom language models, custom vocabularies, and custom vocabulary filters.

      It’s recommended that you include LanguageOptions when using LanguageIdSettings to ensure that the correct language dialect is identified. For example, if you specify a custom vocabulary that is in en-US but Amazon Transcribe determines that the language spoken in your media is en-AU, your custom vocabulary is not applied to your transcription. If you include LanguageOptions and include en-US as the only English language dialect, your custom vocabulary is applied to your transcription.

      If you want to include a custom language model, custom vocabulary, or custom vocabulary filter with your request but do not want to use automatic language identification, use instead the parameter with the LanguageModelName, VocabularyName, or VocabularyFilterName sub-parameters.

      For a list of languages supported with Call Analytics, refer to Supported languages and language-specific features.

      • (string) –

        • (dict) –

          If using automatic language identification in your request and you want to apply a custom language model, a custom vocabulary, or a custom vocabulary filter, include LanguageIdSettings with the relevant sub-parameters ( VocabularyName, LanguageModelName, and VocabularyFilterName). Note that multi-language identification ( IdentifyMultipleLanguages) doesn’t support custom language models.

          LanguageIdSettings supports two to five language codes. Each language code you include can have an associated custom language model, custom vocabulary, and custom vocabulary filter. The language codes that you specify must match the languages of the associated custom language models, custom vocabularies, and custom vocabulary filters.

          It’s recommended that you include LanguageOptions when using LanguageIdSettings to ensure that the correct language dialect is identified. For example, if you specify a custom vocabulary that is in en-US but Amazon Transcribe determines that the language spoken in your media is en-AU, your custom vocabulary is not applied to your transcription. If you include LanguageOptions and include en-US as the only English language dialect, your custom vocabulary is applied to your transcription.

          If you want to include a custom language model with your request but do not want to use automatic language identification, use instead the parameter with the LanguageModelName sub-parameter. If you want to include a custom vocabulary or a custom vocabulary filter (or both) with your request but do not want to use automatic language identification, use instead the parameter with the VocabularyName or VocabularyFilterName (or both) sub-parameter.

          • VocabularyName (string) –

            The name of the custom vocabulary you want to use when processing your transcription job. Custom vocabulary names are case sensitive.

            The language of the specified custom vocabulary must match the language code that you specify in your transcription request. If the languages don’t match, the custom vocabulary isn’t applied. There are no errors or warnings associated with a language mismatch.

          • VocabularyFilterName (string) –

            The name of the custom vocabulary filter you want to use when processing your transcription job. Custom vocabulary filter names are case sensitive.

            The language of the specified custom vocabulary filter must match the language code that you specify in your transcription request. If the languages don’t match, the custom vocabulary filter isn’t applied. There are no errors or warnings associated with a language mismatch.

            Note that if you include VocabularyFilterName in your request, you must also include VocabularyFilterMethod.

          • LanguageModelName (string) –

            The name of the custom language model you want to use when processing your transcription job. Note that custom language model names are case sensitive.

            The language of the specified custom language model must match the language code that you specify in your transcription request. If the languages don’t match, the custom language model isn’t applied. There are no errors or warnings associated with a language mismatch.

  • ChannelDefinitions (list) –

    Makes it possible to specify which speaker is on which channel. For example, if your agent is the first participant to speak, you would set ChannelId to 0 (to indicate the first channel) and ParticipantRole to AGENT (to indicate that it’s the agent speaking).

    • (dict) –

      Makes it possible to specify which speaker is on which channel. For example, if your agent is the first participant to speak, you would set ChannelId to 0 (to indicate the first channel) and ParticipantRole to AGENT (to indicate that it’s the agent speaking).

      • ChannelId (integer) –

        Specify the audio channel you want to define.

      • ParticipantRole (string) –

        • LanguageModelName (string) –

          The name of the custom language model you want to use when processing your Call Analytics job. Note that custom language model names are case sensitive.

          The language of the specified custom language model must match the language code that you specify in your transcription request. If the languages don’t match, the custom language model isn’t applied. There are no errors or warnings associated with a language mismatch.

        • ContentRedaction (dict) –

          Makes it possible to redact or flag specified personally identifiable information (PII) in your transcript. If you use ContentRedaction, you must also include the sub-parameters: PiiEntityTypes, RedactionOutput, and RedactionType.

          • RedactionType (string) –

            Specify the category of information you want to redact; PII (personally identifiable information) is the only valid value. You can use PiiEntityTypes to choose which types of PII you want to redact.

          • RedactionOutput (string) –

            Specify if you want only a redacted transcript, or if you want a redacted and an unredacted transcript.

            When you choose redacted Amazon Transcribe creates only a redacted transcript.

            When you choose redacted_and_unredacted Amazon Transcribe creates a redacted and an unredacted transcript (as two separate files).

          • PiiEntityTypes (list) –

            Specify which types of personally identifiable information (PII) you want to redact in your transcript. You can include as many types as you’d like, or you can select ALL.

            • (string) –

        • LanguageOptions (list) –

          You can specify two or more language codes that represent the languages you think may be present in your media. Including more than five is not recommended. If you’re unsure what languages are present, do not include this parameter.

          Including language options can improve the accuracy of language identification.

          For a list of languages supported with Call Analytics, refer to the Supported languages table.

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

          • (string) –

        • LanguageIdSettings (dict) –

          If using automatic language identification in your request and you want to apply a custom language model, a custom vocabulary, or a custom vocabulary filter, include LanguageIdSettings with the relevant sub-parameters ( VocabularyName, LanguageModelName, and VocabularyFilterName).

          LanguageIdSettings supports two to five language codes. Each language code you include can have an associated custom language model, custom vocabulary, and custom vocabulary filter. The language codes that you specify must match the languages of the associated custom language models, custom vocabularies, and custom vocabulary filters.

          It’s recommended that you include LanguageOptions when using LanguageIdSettings to ensure that the correct language dialect is identified. For example, if you specify a custom vocabulary that is in en-US but Amazon Transcribe determines that the language spoken in your media is en-AU, your custom vocabulary is not applied to your transcription. If you include LanguageOptions and include en-US as the only English language dialect, your custom vocabulary is applied to your transcription.

          If you want to include a custom language model, custom vocabulary, or custom vocabulary filter with your request but do not want to use automatic language identification, use instead the parameter with the LanguageModelName, VocabularyName, or VocabularyFilterName sub-parameters.

          For a list of languages supported with Call Analytics, refer to Supported languages and language-specific features.

          • (string) –

            • (dict) –

              If using automatic language identification in your request and you want to apply a custom language model, a custom vocabulary, or a custom vocabulary filter, include LanguageIdSettings with the relevant sub-parameters ( VocabularyName, LanguageModelName, and VocabularyFilterName). Note that multi-language identification ( IdentifyMultipleLanguages) doesn’t support custom language models.

              LanguageIdSettings supports two to five language codes. Each language code you include can have an associated custom language model, custom vocabulary, and custom vocabulary filter. The language codes that you specify must match the languages of the associated custom language models, custom vocabularies, and custom vocabulary filters.

              It’s recommended that you include LanguageOptions when using LanguageIdSettings to ensure that the correct language dialect is identified. For example, if you specify a custom vocabulary that is in en-US but Amazon Transcribe determines that the language spoken in your media is en-AU, your custom vocabulary is not applied to your transcription. If you include LanguageOptions and include en-US as the only English language dialect, your custom vocabulary is applied to your transcription.

              If you want to include a custom language model with your request but do not want to use automatic language identification, use instead the parameter with the LanguageModelName sub-parameter. If you want to include a custom vocabulary or a custom vocabulary filter (or both) with your request but do not want to use automatic language identification, use instead the parameter with the VocabularyName or VocabularyFilterName (or both) sub-parameter.

                The name of the custom vocabulary you want to use when processing your transcription job. Custom vocabulary names are case sensitive.

                The language of the specified custom vocabulary must match the language code that you specify in your transcription request. If the languages don’t match, the custom vocabulary isn’t applied. There are no errors or warnings associated with a language mismatch.

              • VocabularyFilterName (string) –

                The name of the custom vocabulary filter you want to use when processing your transcription job. Custom vocabulary filter names are case sensitive.

                The language of the specified custom vocabulary filter must match the language code that you specify in your transcription request. If the languages don’t match, the custom vocabulary filter isn’t applied. There are no errors or warnings associated with a language mismatch.

                Note that if you include VocabularyFilterName in your request, you must also include VocabularyFilterMethod.

              • LanguageModelName (string) –

                The name of the custom language model you want to use when processing your transcription job. Note that custom language model names are case sensitive.

                The language of the specified custom language model must match the language code that you specify in your transcription request. If the languages don’t match, the custom language model isn’t applied. There are no errors or warnings associated with a language mismatch.

      • ChannelDefinitions (list) –

        Indicates which speaker is on which channel.

        • (dict) –

          Makes it possible to specify which speaker is on which channel. For example, if your agent is the first participant to speak, you would set ChannelId to 0 (to indicate the first channel) and ParticipantRole to AGENT (to indicate that it’s the agent speaking).

          • ChannelId (integer) –

            Specify the audio channel you want to define.

          • ParticipantRole (string) –
