Amazon Transcribe Service

Description

Amazon Transcribe offers three main types of batch transcription: Standard, Medical, and Call Analytics.

Standard transcriptions are the most common option. Refer to for details. Medical transcriptions are tailored to medical professionals and incorporate medical terms. A common use case for this service is transcribing doctor-patient dialogue into after-visit notes. Refer to for details. Call Analytics transcriptions are designed for use with call center audio on two different channels; if you're looking for insight into customer service calls, use this option. Refer to for details.
