2018/11/15 - Amazon Transcribe Service - 7 updated api methods
Changes With this release, Amazon Transcribe now publicly supports transcriptions from audio sources in British English (en-GB), Australian English (en-AU), and Canadian French (fr-CA). Amazon Transcribe now also supports the following languages in Private beta: Germany German (de-DE), Brazil Portuguese (pt-BR), France French (fr-FR).
{'LanguageCode': ['de-DE', 'en-GB', 'fr-FR', 'pt-BR']}
Creates a new custom vocabulary that you can use to change the way Amazon Transcribe handles transcription of an audio file. Note that vocabularies for en-AU, en-UK, and fr-CA languages that are in preview are not available. In the console, the vocabulary section will be greyed-out and SDK will return error message.

Instructs Amazon Transcribe to process each audio channel separately and then merge the transcription output of each channel into a single transcription.
Amazon Transcribe also produces a transcription of each item detected on an audio channel, including the start time and end time of the item and alternative transcriptions of the item including the confidence that Amazon Transcribe has in the transcription.
You can't set both ShowSpeakerLabels and ChannelIdentification in the same request. If you set both, your request returns a BadRequestException .
