          The name of the custom vocabulary you want to use in your transcription job request. This name is case sensitive, cannot contain spaces, and must be unique within an Amazon Web Services account.

        • ShowSpeakerLabels (boolean) --

          Enables speaker partitioning (diarization) in your transcription output. Speaker partitioning labels the speech from individual speakers in your media file.

          If you enable ShowSpeakerLabels in your request, you must also include MaxSpeakerLabels .

          You can't include both ShowSpeakerLabels and ChannelIdentification in the same request. Including both parameters returns a BadRequestException .

          For more information, see Partitioning speakers (diarization).

        • MaxSpeakerLabels (integer) --

          Specify the maximum number of speakers you want to partition in your media.

          Note that if your media contains more speakers than the specified number, multiple speakers are treated as a single speaker.

          If you specify the MaxSpeakerLabels field, you must set the ShowSpeakerLabels field to true.

        • ChannelIdentification (boolean) --

          Enables channel identification in multi-channel audio.

          Channel identification transcribes the audio on each channel independently, then appends the output for each channel into one transcript.

          You can't include both ShowSpeakerLabels and ChannelIdentification in the same request. Including both parameters returns a BadRequestException .

          For more information, see Transcribing multi-channel audio.

        • ShowAlternatives (boolean) --

          To include alternative transcriptions within your transcription output, include ShowAlternatives in your transcription request.

          If you have multi-channel audio and do not enable channel identification, your audio is transcribed in a continuous manner and your transcript does not separate the speech by channel.

          If you include ShowAlternatives , you must also include MaxAlternatives , which is the maximum number of alternative transcriptions you want Amazon Transcribe to generate.

          For more information, see Alternative transcriptions.

        • MaxAlternatives (integer) --

          Indicate the maximum number of alternative transcriptions you want Amazon Transcribe to include in your transcript.

          If you select a number greater than the number of alternative transcriptions generated by Amazon Transcribe, only the actual number of alternative transcriptions are included.

          If you include MaxAlternatives in your request, you must also include ShowAlternatives with a value of true .

          For more information, see Alternative transcriptions.

        • VocabularyFilterName (string) --

          The name of the custom vocabulary filter you want to use in your transcription job request. This name is case sensitive, cannot contain spaces, and must be unique within an Amazon Web Services account.

        • 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 .

      • ModelSettings (dict) --

        Provides information on the custom language model you included in your request.

        • 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.

      • JobExecutionSettings (dict) --

        Provides information about how your transcription job was processed. This parameter shows if your request was queued and what data access role was used.

        • AllowDeferredExecution (boolean) --

          Makes it possible to enable job queuing when your concurrent request limit is exceeded. When AllowDeferredExecution is set to true , transcription job requests are placed in a queue until the number of jobs falls below the concurrent request limit. If AllowDeferredExecution is set to false and the number of transcription job requests exceed the concurrent request limit, you get a LimitExceededException error.

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

          If you include AllowDeferredExecution in your request, you must also include DataAccessRoleArn .

        • 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.

          Note that if you include DataAccessRoleArn in your request, you must also include AllowDeferredExecution .

          For example, you could add the tag Department:Sales to a resource to indicate that it pertains to your organization's sales department. You can also use tags for tag-based access control.

          To learn more about tagging, see Tagging resources.

          • Key (string) --

            The first part of a key:value pair that forms a tag associated with a given resource. For example, in the tag Department:Sales , the key is 'Department'.

          • Value (string) --

            The second part of a key:value pair that forms a tag associated with a given resource. For example, in the tag Department:Sales , the value is 'Sales'.

            Note that you can set the value of a tag to an empty string, but you can't set the value of a tag to null. Omitting the tag value is the same as using an empty string.

      • Subtitles (dict) --

        Indicates whether subtitles were generated with your transcription.

        • Formats (list) --

          Provides the format of your subtitle files. If your request included both WebVTT ( vtt ) and SubRip ( srt ) formats, both formats are shown.

          • (string) --
        • SubtitleFileUris (list) --

          The Amazon S3 location of your transcript. You can use this URI to access or download your subtitle file. Your subtitle file is stored in the same location as your transcript. If you specified both WebVTT and SubRip subtitle formats, two URIs are provided.

          If you included OutputBucketName in your transcription job request, this is the URI of that bucket. If you also included OutputKey in your request, your output is located in the path you specified in your request.

          If you didn't include OutputBucketName in your transcription job request, your subtitle file is stored in a service-managed bucket, and TranscriptFileUri provides you with a temporary URI you can use for secure access to your subtitle file.

          Note

          Temporary URIs for service-managed Amazon S3 buckets are only valid for 15 minutes. If you get an AccesDenied error, you can get a new temporary URI by running a GetTranscriptionJob or ListTranscriptionJob request.

          • (string) --
        • OutputStartIndex (integer) --

          Provides the start index value for your subtitle files. If you did not specify a value in your request, the default value of 0 is used.

      • LanguageIdSettings (dict) --

        Provides the name and language of all custom language models, custom vocabularies, and custom vocabulary filters that you included in your request.

        • (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.
