Live streaming transcription is used across industries in contact center applications, broadcast events, meetings captions, and e-learning. For example, contact centers use transcription to remove the need for note taking and improve agent productivity by providing recommendations for next best action. Companies also make their live sports events or real-time meetings more accessible with automatic subtitles. In addition, customers who have a large social media presence use Amazon Transcribe to help moderate content and detect inappropriate speech in user-generated content.
