AWhen using Deepgram Nova 2 Multilanguage, the transcription has been getting confused with Spanish and French, causing the agent's language to switch. Do you recommend any alternatives?
EHey, I’ve seen this issue happen with Deepgram multilingual models when they mix up nearby languages. You can try OpenAI Whisper, Speechmatics, or AssemblyAI , all perform better for Brazilian Portuguese. I can help you test and fine-tune whichever you choose for more consistent results. Do you notice the mix-ups happening more in noisy or quiet environments?
