+You can run each one by calling `uv run <file_name>`. This will set up an
+environment for you with a supported Python version and required dependencies.
+- `simple_mic.py` - Stream audio from your microphone in real-time and receive transcription results as you speak.
+- `simple_file.py` - Transcribe a pre-recorded audio file with simulated real-time streaming and rate limiting.

+Audio file transcription example using AWS Transcribe Streaming.
+
+This example demonstrates how to:
+- Read audio from a pre-recorded file
+- Stream audio to AWS Transcribe Streaming service with rate limiting
+- Receive and display transcription results as they arrive
+
+Prerequisites:
+- AWS credentials configured (via environment variables)
+- An audio file (default: test.wav in PCM format)
+- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) installed
+
+Usage:
+- `uv run simple_file.py`
