Announcing Geofence Management in Amplify Geo (JavaScript), powered by Amazon Location Service

Today we are announcing the general availability of Geofences for Amplify Geo. Amplify Geo enables frontend developers to add location-aware features to their web applications. Developers looking to display geometric boundaries or Geofences on a map, can now implement a complete Geofence management solution in minutes using the cloud-connected UI widget and APIs from Amplify Geo, powered by Amazon Location Service.

Amazon Transcribe now supports automatic language identification for multi-lingual audio

Amazon Transcribe is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) service that makes it easy for you to add speech-to-text capabilities to your applications. Today, we are excited to announce automatic language identification support for multi-lingual audio in batch mode. If your audio recording contains more than one language, you can enable multi-language identification, which identifies all languages spoken in the audio file and creates transcript using each identified language. This means that if speakers change languages mid-conversation, or if each participant is speaking a different language, your transcription output detects and transcribes each language correctly. Until now, Transcribe would detect the dominant language in the audio recording and generate transcriptions in the identified language. You can now simply provide the audio files and Transcribe will detect the language from the speech signal and generate transcriptions in the identified language.

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery now supports multiple staging and target accounts

We are excited to announce that AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS) has added support for multiple staging and target accounts. Today you can replicate and protect up to 300 source servers per AWS account. By using multiple staging and target accounts, you can now also recover up to 3,000 replicating source servers into any target AWS account. This feature makes disaster recovery setup, implementation, and monitoring easier and more efficient, especially for large-scale projects.
