Transcribe Audio from Google Drive to Sheets via AWS

This n8n workflow streamlines audio transcription by triggering on new files uploaded to Google Drive. It uploads the file to AWS S3, initiates an AWS Transcribe job with the S3 URI, waits for completion to handle variable processing times, retrieves the transcript details, formats the data, and appends it to a Google Sheets spreadsheet for easy access and analysis.

Key benefits include seamless integration across Google and AWS services, scalability for large files or high volumes, reduced manual effort in transcription workflows, and reliable error-handling via the wait node. It saves significant time compared to manual processing, enabling quick conversion of audio to searchable text.

Use cases span education for lecture transcriptions, business meeting notes, student enrollment interviews, research interviews, or podcast production. Perfect for teams needing automated, cloud-based audio-to-text pipelines with centralized storage in Sheets for collaboration and data management.
