Does Amazon Transcribe always require using S3 storage?

I am just getting started on looking at speech to text conversion. I want to transcribe mp3 files, but can convert them if needed. It looks as though the Google and the IBM offerings allow you to send a file and get a transcript back. However all the examples I see for Amazon require you to somehow put the file to be transcribed into S3 storage before conversion. Is that right or am I missing something? Can you just send a file to Amazon and get the transcription back without having to delve into S3?

Well, amazon uses s3 to perform the transcribe service and there is no way around it. Use goolge or ibm one if you are worried about the calls from s3.. but i wont be amazed to see the same response times across all three services.

The start_transcription_job() API call requires the input file to be in Amazon S3, in the same region as the Transcribe service being called.

It is also possible to Use Amazon Transcribe Streaming, which can perform real-time transcription. However, the sample code that has been provided is only in Java.
