# Transcribing with the AWS SDKs
<a name="getting-started-sdk"></a>

You can use SDKs for both batch and streaming transcriptions. If you're transcribing a media file located in an Amazon S3 bucket, you're performing a batch transcription. If you're transcribing a real-time stream of audio data, you're performing a streaming transcription.

For a list of the programming languages you can use with Amazon Transcribe, see [Supported programming languages](supported-languages.md#supported-sdks). Note that streaming transcriptions are not supported with all AWS SDKs. To view supported media formats and other media requirements and constraints, see [Data input and output](how-input.md).

For more information on all available AWS SDKs and builder tools, refer to [Tools to Build on AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/developer/tools).

**Tip**  
For additional examples using the AWS SDKs, including feature-specific, scenario, and cross-service examples, refer to the [Code examples for Amazon Transcribe using AWS SDKs](service_code_examples.md) chapter.
