#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To get information about a custom vocabulary**  
The following `get-vocabulary` example gets information on a previously created custom vocabulary.  

```
aws transcribe get-vocabulary \
    --vocabulary-name cli-vocab-1
```
Output:  

```
{
    "VocabularyName": "cli-vocab-1",
    "LanguageCode": "language-code",
    "VocabularyState": "READY",
    "LastModifiedTime": "2020-09-19T23:22:32.836000+00:00",
