AWS transcribe Unable to load credentials from any of the providers in the chain AwsCredentialsProviderChain - amazon-transcribe

Question

I am running a java program that uses AWS TranscribeStreaming. I have created(from AWS console) and downloaded AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY then set the environment variables.
When I run the program I am getting error message:
Unable to load credentials from any of the providers in the chain AwsCredentialsProviderChain.
I don't why but this error was also occurring while using Google SDK for speech recognition.
here is the code I am trying to run.

getResponseHandler());
result.get();

Finally, I solved the problem, the documentation specifies that:
AWS credentials provider chain that looks for credentials in this order:
1.Java System Properties - aws.accessKeyId and aws.secretAccessKey
2.Environment Variables - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
3.Credential profiles file at the default location (~/.aws/credentials) shared by all AWS SDKs and the AWS CLI
Since setting up through environment variables didn't work, I opted to set credentials with Java system properties and it works!
Doc ref: https://sdk.amazonaws.com/java/api/latest/software/amazon/awssdk/auth/credentials/DefaultCredentialsProvider.html
System.setProperty("aws.accessKeyId", "**************");
System.setProperty("aws.secretAccessKey", "**************");
