# Amazon Transcribe
Use this skill when an agent needs to plan, run, review, or troubleshoot Amazon Transcribe as a speech-to-text provider inside an AWS-controlled workflow. Treat Amazon Transcribe as an AWS custody option first: it is strongest when the media already belongs in S3, the organization needs IAM/KMS/CloudTrail governance, captions must be generated from batch files, or real-time transcripts must flow through AWS streaming endpoints.
Do not use this skill as a generic "best transcription model" ranking. Compare accuracy, latency, cost, language coverage, and custody requirements against the actual job. For healthcare, call-center analytics, and sensitive audio, separate the general Transcribe path from the Medical and Call Analytics products before choosing.
