## Other Languages

For non-english ASR, it is best to use the `large` whisper model. Alignment models are automatically picked by the chosen language from the default [lists](https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX/blob/main/whisperx/alignment.py#L18).

Currently support default models tested for {en, fr, de, es, it, ja, zh, nl}


If the detected language is not in this list, you need to find a phoneme-based ASR model from [huggingface model hub](https://huggingface.co/models) and test it on your data.
