Did you know that Dutch and Flemish, despite the different names, are varieties of the same language, just spoken in different countries? Our model works for both, regardless of where the speaker is from. Deepgram’s Dutch speech recognition model is suitable for general use cases.

• Dutch—nl

Over 1.348 billion people speak English as a first or second language across the globe in hundreds of different dialects. That’s why we have different speech models for the most widely spoken varieties of English. Deepgram’s English speech recognition models are suitable for the following dialects and use cases:

• English—en            
• English—en-AU
• English—en-US            
• English—en-GB  
• English—en-NZ

• Hindi— hi-Latn

Japanese uses a combination of three different writing systems (four if you count romaji, or words written in Latin characters).

European and Brazilian Portuguese are considerably different from each other than, say, US and British English, which  is why we have three distinct speech models (Mixed, Portugal and Brazil). Deepgram’s Portuguese speech recognition model is suitable for general use cases and dialects:

• Portuguese—pt

• Portuguese—pt-BR

Russian is one of the languages of space, so astronauts need to learn Russian as part of their training for the International Space Station.

Spanish is an official language in 21 countries and has half a billion speakers worldwide, which means dialects matter.  We created our Spanish language model to recognize a variety of regional accents and dialects, making a great fit for the diverse variety of Spanish spoken throughout the Americas.
