Summary

A doc-history entry announces that Amazon Transcribe supports customer-managed KMS keys to encrypt artifacts associated with custom vocabularies, custom vocabulary filters, and custom language models, linking to the data-encryption page.

The change documents a new encryption capability (customer-managed KMS keys, i.e., CMEK) for Transcribe custom resource artifacts, a meaningful data-protection control; it is a feature announcement rather than a fix for a known vulnerability.
