Supported Languages
This table is read live from GET /v1/capabilities, the same list the API uses to accept or refuse a call. A language can be stable for one feature and beta or absent for another. Send the code as localeCode (transcription) or language (synthesis).
| Code | Language | Transcription | Live transcription | Word timings | Speaker labels | Speech synthesis | Custom voice |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| amh | Amharic (አማርኛ) | Stable | Stable | Stable | Beta | Beta | Beta |
| tir | Tigrinya (ትግርኛ) | Stable | Stable | Stable | Beta | Beta | Beta |

A call for a language or feature marked with a dash is refused with 400 capability_unavailable, naming the language and the feature. While a feature is temporarily unavailable, calls get 503 capability_unavailable and are not charged.
Beta
Beta features use the same API as stable ones. Clean audio is where they are most at home today; heavy noise, fast speech and code-switching are areas we are actively improving. Behaviour may change, and the badge comes off when it settles.
