Can anyone please clarify is there any limit of no of langs identified in audio file.

Answer

Hello,

If you choose to include language codes, you must include at least two. There's no limit on the number of language codes you can include, but we recommend using between two and five for optimal efficiency and accuracy.

With language identification, you have the option to include a list of languages you think may be present in your media. Including language options (LanguageOptions) restricts Amazon Transcribe to using only the languages that you specify when matching your audio to the correct language, which can speed up language identification and improve the accuracy associated with assigning the correct language dialect.
