Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

MedicalTranscriptionSetting

Allows additional optional settings in your StartMedicalTranscriptionJob request, including channel identification, alternative transcriptions, and speaker partitioning. You can use that to apply custom vocabularies to your medical transcription job.

Contents

ChannelIdentification

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.

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.

For more information, see Transcribing multi-channel audio.

MaxAlternatives
