Why cannot i find arabic language support in the deepgram transciber? Which is the best transcriber for arabic?

Arabic language support was recently added to Deepgram transcriber. To enable Arabic transcription, set your transcriber language to

'ar'

in your assistant configuration:

json
"transcriber": {
  "provider": "Deepgram",
  "model": "Nova 2",
  "language": "ar"
}

Tip: Deepgram is recommended for speed and multilingual accuracy, but always test with your own audio for best results. For more details, see the [April 25, 2025 changelog](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2025/4/25).

I really dont see it in the dashboard.

@KM I was thinking of replying to your old inquiry, but I’ll answer here instead. The use case you described is handled by Azure Speech-to-Text. Based on our own benchmarking, Azure is currently the best option for Arabic, and you can choose the specific Arabic locale you want (for example ar-MA for Moroccan Arabic, or other ar-XX locales). You can configure this either directly from the dashboard or through the Vapi API.

Thank you so much for replying. much appreciated.
