Arabic Assistant Setup

I am struggling to know the best Assistant setup for Arabic related to transcriber and voice configuration . I tried multiple providers as elevenlabs and PlayHT but either the voice is not found in the library or the pronounced voice/words are not clear in Arabic , I am not concerned for now about the arabic accent just basic arabic

Use Vapi talkscriber with Deepgram’s Nova models for better accuracy. For voice output, try Azure’s voice, set it up in Vapi with the voice ID in the configuration and also use GPT-4o for improved multilingual understanding, adjust temperature settings for focused responses to ensure consistent tone across interactions.

Deepgram is not supporting Arabic inside Vapi @Kings_big💫

Use OpenAI’s Whisper

have you tried to setup an Arabic voice agent on Vapi before @Kings_big💫 ?

For Arabic voice agents on Vapi, I recommend this setup:
Copy code
json
{
  "transcriber": {
    "provider": "talkscriber",
    "model": "whisper"
  },
  "voice": {
    "provider": "azure",
    "language": "ar-SA"
  },
  "model": "gpt-4o"
}
Azure offers the most extensive Arabic voice support (400+ voices across 140 languages), while Talkscriber with Whisper is your best transcription option since Deepgram doesn't support Arabic. GPT-4o is recommended for improved multilingual understanding.
