AWS Transcription Service: Getting Started Using the Console
The easiest way to get started with Amazon Transcribe is to submit a job using the console to transcribe an audio file. If you haven’t reviewed the concepts and terminology in How Amazon Transcribe Works, we recommend that you do that before proceeding.
