Meet Cohere Transcribe Arabic

Today we are releasing Cohere Transcribe Arabic.

This open-source speech-to-text model is a fine-tune of Cohere Transcribe using Arabic speech data. It lets Arabic speakers transcribe their voice with unmatched accuracy and support for regional dialects or speech patterns.

It is currently the most accurate open-source Arabic ASR model available today and is optimized for production inference and throughput.

• Size: 2B
• Architecture: conformer-based encoder-decoder
• Languages supported: Arabic (all major dialects), English (including English spoken with an Arabic accent)
• License: Apache 2.0

Cohere Transcribe Arabic is available through the V2 Audio Transcriptions API and as open weights on Hugging Face. For production use, Model Vault deployment is also supported.
