Is it possible to produce a transcript in a different language than the audio was spoken in?

Hi @carmine raven. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Yes, Deepgram's managed Whisper model provides translation functionality that allows you to transcribe audio in one language and receive the transcript in another language.

To use this feature, you can submit your request with the language parameter set to your desired output language. For example, if you have audio in Hindi but want the transcript in English, you would use language=en in your API request.

As mentioned in a discussion about this exact scenario:

Language Help - "Our managed Whisper model provides some translation functionality. You can try submitting your request with language=en, and Whisper will transcribe your Hindi audio and return a translated transcript in English."

This approach works for various language combinations, though it's important to note that the translation quality may vary depending on the specific languages involved.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
