    Guess ‘Diversity’ in language wasn’t important for neither the Anglophone world, or Saltman. Good for Asia, but afaik we still lack descent support for Africa, the middle-east, and a shitload of smaller languages that Western corps didn’t bother adding.

      Technically it supports fewer languages than whisper, 40 vs 99

      The main problem isn’t “bother”, it’s training data. You need hundreds of thousands of hours of high quality transcripts to train models like these and that just doesn’t exist for like zulu or whatever
