@marcoarment @glabrego how are you identifying the language? Is it a metadata tag?
And for French are you differentiate between québécois vs Parisian French?
Show threadMaeve Ryan ElainskaMar 19
@marcoarment Is this because those are the languages LLMs are really good at, or because those are the most popular podcast languages, or some other reason?

@glassblowerscat @marcoarment The pattern I’m seeing in this list is languages in Apple Intelligence that use the English alphabet (so, no Cyrillic or Kanji, etc.)

@marcintosh @glassblowerscat @marcoarment Marco said on ATP that these are the languages that Apple’s AI model that he’s using currently supports. He also mentioned Dutch is the biggest remaining gap as far as podcasts go.

@MaxKay Yep, I heard that as well 😁

@MaxKay @glassblowerscat @marcoarment Yeah, I’m typically behind on my ATP. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@marcoarment I don't see a way to pick the language for an on-demand transcription. I just tried a Japanese podcast that wasn't pre-transcribed and got wacky English out. At any rate this looks to be an amazing feature!

@marcoarment @glabrego I've tried it on a number of podcasts in French from various sources and so far my success rate is 0%. None had the transcripts already showing up and manually requesting the transcription systematically leads to "Could not generate the transcript". Something might be off in the current β.
