# Understanding Amazon Chime SDK live transcription events
<a name="transcription-events"></a>

The Amazon Chime SDK sends transcription lifecycle events, which you can use to trigger notifications and initiate downstream work flows. Some examples of using transcription events include:
+ Measuring the adoption of live transcription in Amazon Chime SDK meetings
+ Tracking language preferences

You can send events to Amazon EventBridge, Amazon Simple Notification Service, and Amazon Simple Queue Service. For more information, refer to [Events from AWS services](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-service-event.html) in the *Amazon EventBridge User Guide*.
