How to find out which languages are supported by Amazon Transcribe's speaker partitioning feature

Hi xuansong, thanks for posting your question to re:Post!

Short Answer:

Speaker diarization (speaker partitioning) is available for both batch and streaming transcriptions in Amazon Transcribe. However, not all languages support this feature. To determine if a specific language supports speaker diarization, check the Supported languages table - if the language supports "batch" or "streaming" transcription, it can use speaker diarization.

For your specific languages:

• Indonesian (id-ID): ✅ Yes - supports batch and streaming (speaker diarization available)
• Malay (ms-MY): ✅ Yes - supports batch and streaming (speaker diarization available)
• Arabic, Gulf (ar-AE): ✅ Yes - supports batch and streaming (speaker diarization available)
• Arabic, Modern Standard (ar-SA): ✅ Yes - supports batch and streaming (speaker diarization available)
• Russian (ru-RU): ✅ Yes - supports batch and streaming (speaker diarization available)

Key Points:

1. Speaker diarization can distinguish up to 30 unique speakers
2. The feature is available for any language that supports batch or streaming transcription
3. There's no separate language list for diarization - if transcription is supported, diarization is supported
4. Check the "Data input" column in the supported languages table to verify support
