Step 1: Store meeting audio recordings in an Amazon S3 bucket.
Step 2: Convert meeting audio recordings to meeting text files by using Amazon Transcribe.
Step 3: Summarize meeting text files by using Amazon Bedrock.
The company wants to create an application to summarize meeting audio recordings, which requires a sequence of steps involving storage, speech-to-text conversion, and text summarization. Amazon S3 is the recommended storage service for audio files, Amazon Transcribe converts audio to text, and Amazon Bedrock provides generative AI capabilities for summarization. These three steps, in this order, create an efficient workflow for the application.
Exact Extract from AWS AI Documents:
From the Amazon Transcribe Developer Guide:
"Amazon Transcribe uses deep learning to convert audio files into text, supporting applications such as meeting transcription. Audio files can be stored in Amazon S3, and Transcribe can process them directly from an S3 bucket."
From the AWS Bedrock User Guide:
"Amazon Bedrock provides foundation models that can perform text summarization, enabling developers to build applications that generate concise summaries from text data, such as meeting transcripts."

Detailed Explanation:
Step 1: Store meeting audio recordings in an Amazon S3 bucket.Amazon S3 is the standard storage service for audio files in AWS workflows, especially for integration with services like Amazon Transcribe. Storing the recordings in S3 allows Transcribe to access and process them efficiently. This is the first logical step.
Step 2: Convert meeting audio recordings to meeting text files by using Amazon Transcribe.Amazon Transcribe is designed for automatic speech recognition (ASR), converting audio files (stored in S3) into text. This step is necessary to transform the meeting recordings into a format that can be summarized.
Step 3: Summarize meeting text files by using Amazon Bedrock.Amazon Bedrock provides foundation models capable of generative AI tasks like text summarization. Once the audio is converted to text, Bedrock can summarize the meeting transcripts, completing the application’s requirements.
Unused Options Analysis:
Convert meeting audio recordings to meeting text files by using Amazon Polly.Amazon Polly is a text-to-speech service, not for converting audio to text. This option is incorrect and not used.
Store meeting audio recordings in an Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume.Amazon EBS is for block storage, typically used for compute instances, not for storing files for processing by services like Transcribe. S3 is the better choice, so this option is not used.
Summarize meeting text files by using Amazon Lex.Amazon Lex is for building conversational interfaces (chatbots), not for text summarization. Bedrock is the appropriate service for summarization, so this option is not used.
Hotspot Selection Analysis:
The task requires selecting and ordering three steps from the list, with each step used exactly once or not at all. The selected steps—storing in S3, converting with Transcribe, and summarizing with Bedrock—form a complete and logical workflow for the application.
