# Transcription locales

The table on this page describes the available locales available for transcription.

## Usage

You specify the expected spoken language in the transcription `locale` options.


```json
    "transcriptionOptions": {
    "enabled": true,
    "locale": "en-US"
    }
```

Note:
Accepted values are not case-sensitive. en-us and `en-US` are both acceptable values.

Once the transcription process has finished you will receivce a callback notification (example below shown for conference recording)


```json
{
  "event": "notify",
  "conferenceId": "myconferenceId",
  "version": 1,
  "type": "transcription_available",
  "destination": "s3://yourS3path/yourrecordingname-transcript.json"
}
```

Warning:
If an invalid locale is given, there will be no notification of a transcription being generated and an error will only be shown in the logs on the Sinch dashboard [https://dashboard.sinch.com/voice/logs](https://dashboard.sinch.com/voice/logs)
