FireRedASR2S: README, FireRedTeam, GitHub, FireRedTeam/FireRedASR2S, 2026, Available Models and Languages table.
Open the original- What it measures
- The table gives the same languages for FireRedASR2-LLM and FireRedASR2-AED. The same table lists 100+ languages for FireRedLID (spoken language identification) and FireRedVAD (voice activity detection). Those models identify or detect speech and do not transcribe it, so they are not counted here. The 20+ dialects and accents are Chinese varieties, and code-switching is a mode of speech, so neither is counted as a language.
- What it does not show
- The 2 is counted from the table, because the README does not state a number. The table is the only support list the README gives, and it names no other languages for the recognition models.
In the data

- Counted from the table: Chinese and English are the two languages. The 20+ Chinese dialects and accents and code-switching are not counted as languages, so the 2 is a count, not a number the page states.
