‫So now let's talk about Amazon Transcribe.
‫So as the name indicates,
‫it allows you to automatically convert speech into text.
‫So you pass in some audio
‫and automatically is going to be transcribed into text,
‫so you could say, hey, hello,
‫my name is Stephane and I hope you're enjoying the course.
‫Now, how does it do it?
‫Well, it uses a deep learning process called the ASR,
‫the Automatic Speech Recognition,
‫to convert speech to text very quickly and accurately
‫and there are a few features you need to know about.
‫The first one is that you can automatically remove any PII,
‫so personally identifiable information, using reduction.
‫So that means, for example,
‫if you have someone's age or name or Social Security Number,
‫this can be automatically removed
‫and also you can have access
‫to automatic language identification for multilingual audio.
‫So if you have some French and some English,
‫some Spanish, Transcribe is smart enough
‫to recognize all of those.
‫So the use cases for Amazon Transcribe
‫is to transcribe customer service calls,
‫to automate closed captioning and subtitling,
‫and also to generate metadata
‫for media assets to create a fully searchable archive.
‫So let's have a look at Amazon Transcribe.
‫So I can create a transcript and I can see
‫that the specific language right now is set to English US,
‫so now if I click on start streaming,
‫hello, I really like this course.
‫As you can see, the outcome of the audio
‫get directly transcribed into some text,
‫so that's pretty cool, right?
‫Also, you can have the setting to remove some content
‫and you can remove PII identification.
‫So I could say, hey,
‫you can identify and redact it to remove it
‫and these are the kind of things that can be removed.
‫So for example, let's have an example
‫and try it out, so I won't show this all again.
‫Hello, my name is Stephane, I am 31 years old
‫and my phone number is 910-747-280
‫and as you can see now, the things got hidden.
‫So my name is hidden and my phone is hidden.
‫Obviously this was not my real phone number.
‫You cannot try it.
‫Okay and last thing I want to show you
‫is that you can actually stream into multiple languages.
‫So you have automatic language identification.
‫So I would choose English and French
‫and then let's start again.
‫Hello, this is some recognition happening in English.
‫(speaking in French)
‫Pretty awesome, right?
‫Well, that's it for Amazon Transcribe.
‫If you wanted to play some more,
‫you can have a look at all the options in the bottom,
‫but that's it for this lecture.
‫I hope you liked it and I will see you in the next lecture.
