Hebrew support

[humy66]

I am working on the promotional $200 budget.
Trying to connect to the wss://api.deepgram.com/v1/listen endpoint fails when asking for

1. whisper - wss://api.deepgram.com/v1/listen?model=whisper
2. Hebrew - wss://api.deepgram.com/v1/listen?language=he
   However works fine for
   wss://api.deepgram.com/v1/listen - transcribing english

Any ideas ?

Currently, Hebrew is only supported via Whisper, which is batch-only and not supported for streaming - I think that's what's going on here!

Is there any information on when/if Hebrew support will be added to Nova?

There is now a free (even for commerical use) dataset for hebrew model training, prehaps that will speed up adding hebrew to nova?

the Ivrit team is happy to provide any other resources to make hebrew well supported both in opensource and commercial products like deepgram.

The non profit ivrit.ai org is providing high quality dataset with completely free license that is also applicable to commerical use.
