Amazon Transcribe helps me not to fall behind in a meeting and not know what's going on. Even if I do, I have the transcript at the end to help me figure out what was said during the meeting.

Several AWS products are originally built in English and not in other languages. There is room for improvement in creating more products in Spanish for Spanish-speaking countries.

Amazon S3 offers something like uploading parts, where a large file is divided into smaller parts, uploaded faster, and later reassembled. A similar feature in Transcribe would really help, making it easier to upload large file sets without spending extra time.

I would love to see Amazon Transcribe have its own section or its own page about how to make adjustments if you're using it for accessibility.
