### Answer To set up multilingual support in Vapi using the Whisper model from Talkscriber for transcription, you will need to configure the transcription model in your assistant's settings. Here's a general guide on how to proceed: 1. **Choose the Transcriber**: When setting up or modifying your voice assistant, specify 'Talkscriber' as your transcriber provider and select the 'Whisper' model. 2. **Set the Language**: Even though Vapi supports multilingual functionality, you still need to choose a primary language from the supported list. This is the language your assistant will default to, but can switch from based on the conversation context. 3. **Configure the Assistant**: Ensure your assistant's settings in the Vapi dashboard are adjusted to handle multilingual capabilities, ensuring that it can dynamically switch languages during a conversation if necessary. Here’s an example JSON configuration snippet that you might use when setting up or updating your assistant via the Vapi API:

json
{
  "transcriber": {
    "provider": "Talkscriber",
    "model": "Whisper"
  },
  "voice": {
    "provider": "PlayHT",
    "voiceId": "en-US-Jennifer"
  }
}

This configuration sets the Whisper model as the transcriber and uses 'Jennifer' from PlayHT for English text-to-speech. Adjust the

voiceId

and possibly the

provider

to fit the specific requirements for your application's typical user base or targeted languages. For more detailed information on setting up transcribers and other components of your assistant, refer to the Vapi documentation for [Assistants]() and [Provider Keys]() [(1)]() . If the documentation feels unclear or incomplete regarding the multilingual setup using Whisper, it may be helpful to check for updates or clarifications in the latest documentation revisions or contact Vapi’s technical support for more personalized assistance.
