Amazon Transcribe with multiple channels

Currently Transcribe supports 1 or 2 channel audios, which can be processed together or separately. Please see these link. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transcribe/latest/dg/how-input.html#how-input-channels https://docs.aws.amazon.com/transcribe/latest/dg/channel-id.html

If you need to process more than 2 audio channel, there may be ways to create multiple Transcribe instances to handle that. Are you able to detail your application, source formats and current workflow?

• Phone call related workflow? Recorded audio file? Video+audio processing?
• audio files only? audio channels from a video?

Thanks for the response. Our application is involved with court reporting. We capture audio files from several different microphones during a session, and upload them for transcription later. So there's no video or real-time processing.

We discussed solving the problem with multiple Transcribe jobs. It will require a lot of work on our end since we already have a system built for 1 or 2-channel processing, but if that's the best way to do it we'll proceed. I wanted to check first to see if there was some easier way. I'd hate to do 100 hours of work if Amazon is planning to increase this limit soon.
