get-medical-transcription-job¶

Description¶

Returns information about a transcription job from Amazon Transcribe Medical. To see the status of the job, check the TranscriptionJobStatus field. If the status is COMPLETED , the job is finished. You find the results of the completed job in the TranscriptFileUri field.

Synopsis¶

  get-medical-transcription-job
--medical-transcription-job-name <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--medical-transcription-job-name (string)

The name of the medical transcription job.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

MediaSampleRateHertz -> (integer)

The sample rate, in Hertz, of the source audio containing medical information.

If you don’t specify the sample rate, Amazon Transcribe Medical determines it for you. If you choose to specify the sample rate, it must match the rate detected by Amazon Transcribe Medical.

MediaFormat -> (string)

The format of the input media file.

Media -> (structure)

Describes the input media file in a transcription request.

MediaFileUri -> (string)

Transcript -> (structure)

An object that contains the MedicalTranscript . The MedicalTranscript contains the TranscriptFileUri .

TranscriptFileUri -> (string)

The S3 object location of the medical transcript.

Use this URI to access the medical transcript. This URI points to the S3 bucket you created to store the medical transcript.
