A media company provides live sports commentary in multiple languages.

Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. A combination of Amazon Transcribe and Amazon Translate.
To translate live *spoken* commentary, first the audio needs to be converted to text, which is done by Amazon Transcribe. Then, this transcribed text can be translated into multiple target languages in real-time using Amazon Translate. This combination provides the full end-to-end solution for real-time spoken language translation.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Amazon Translate translates text from one language to another, but cannot process audio directly.
- B. Amazon Transcribe converts speech to text, but does not perform translation itself.
- C. Amazon Polly converts text to lifelike speech, which is the opposite of what is needed here (speech to text then translate).
