Thank you for your feedback! **Currently, Vapi only supports Deepgram as the transcription provider**—OpenAI's Whisper model is not available for use at this time. If you need to specify a custom model for Arabic, you can use Deepgram's model ID in your assistant configuration:
Copy code
json
"transcriber": {
  "provider": "deepgram",
  "model": "<your_deepgram_model_id>"
}
We appreciate your suggestion and will pass it along to the team for future consideration.

Thank you for your feedback regarding Arabic language support. Currently, Vapi supports several multilingual transcribers (like Deepgram and Google), but I do not see OpenAI Whisper listed as an available option in the documentation. Could you share more about your specific use case or requirements for Arabic transcription, so we can better understand your needs and explore possible solutions?

Thank you for your feedback! While OpenAI's Whisper model is not directly available in Vapi, you can use Deepgram's new 'whisper' model for improved Arabic transcription. Try this configuration in your assistant:
Copy code
json
"transcriber": {
  "provider": "deepgram",
  "model": "whisper",
  "language": "ar"
}
This will enable advanced Arabic transcription using Deepgram's latest model.
