Amazon Chime Closed Caption

Question

Hello team! I recently noticed that there is CC feature on Chime! that I have been sending feature requests for years.
I think this is greatly help for non-native speakers as I sometimes couldn't catch some word during meetings but Chime can catch them.
So I take advantage of CC.

I would like to know if we have feature for downloading CC on Chime, or not.
For example, when I use ZOOM for CC, there is an option to download whole text which is really beneficial. So I'm wondering if it is already available on Amazon Chime or we can expect it coming soon or I need to send a feature request to Chime team.

I would like to 
- download the whole text spoken in the meeting for future use
- translate the CC to other language during the meeting when necessary

It would be great if you can share any tips already available. Thank you!

Hi Didier. Thank you so much for answering my question! Great to know that it exists!

Answer

Hi, I guess that you want attributed text transcription of your Chime meetings.
It already exists.

See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/chime-sdk/latest/dg/meeting-transcription.html

```
You use Amazon Chime SDK live transcription to generate live, user-attributed 
transcripts of your meetings. Amazon Chime SDK live transcription integrates 
with the Amazon Transcribe and Amazon Transcribe Medical services to generate 
transcripts of Amazon Chime SDK meetings while they're in progress.

Amazon Chime SDK live transcription processes each user’s audio separately for 
improved accuracy in multi-speaker scenarios. The Amazon Chime SDK uses its active
 talker algorithm to select the top two active talkers, and then sends their audio to Amazon 
Transcribe, in separate channels, via a single stream. Meeting participants receive 
user-attributed transcriptions via Amazon Chime SDK data messages. You can use 
transcriptions in a variety of ways, such as displaying subtitles, creating meeting 
transcripts, or using the transcriptions for content analysis.
```

You can then go further by using AI to summarize those transcriptions: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/build-a-serverless-meeting-summarization-backend-with-large-language-models-on-amazon-sagemaker-jumpstart/

Best,
