Open the original- What it measures
- The table lists each language with its language codes, such as ar for Arabic and ar-AE for Arabic (UAE). The multilingual option for Nova-3, which covers ten named languages, is listed separately and is not counted here. Nova-2 and Flux have their own tables and are not counted here.
- What it does not show
- Our count, not Deepgram's: 63 table entries, with Chinese's three variants counted as one language and German (Switzerland) counted as a regional variant of German. Counting the codes instead would give a different number. The table changes as Deepgram adds languages.
