StartTranscriptionJob

Source: src/AWS/Transcribe/StartTranscriptionJob.ts

Runtime binding for transcribe:StartTranscriptionJob — kick off an asynchronous batch transcription of an audio/video file stored in S3.

Transcribe batch jobs are account-scoped (no resource to manage): the binding takes no arguments and grants the function transcribe:StartTranscriptionJob (the action has no resource-level IAM). The input Media.MediaFileUri and the output bucket are S3 locations — grant the function S3 access to those buckets separately. Poll the job to completion with GetTranscriptionJob.
