Developers and enterprises requiring high-accuracy multilingual automatic speech recognition for transcribing spoken audio across global applications
About NVIDIA Parakeet
NVIDIA Parakeet-RNNT-1.1B is a multilingual automatic speech recognition model built for quality transcription across voice applications. With 1.1 billion parameters and training on more than 90,000 hours of speech, it supports 25 languages and regional variants, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Hindi, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Czech, Polish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, and Hebrew. The model automatically detects the spoken language and uses a universal tokenizer created by training language-specific tokenizers and merging them into a shared vocabulary, enabling efficient cross-lingual learning and deployment. Parakeet-RNNT produces case-sensitive transcripts with upper and lowercase text, punctuation, spaces, and apostrophes, making the output suitable for production voice applications and downstream language understanding.

Mintza
Mintza teaches you to speak a new language by actually speaking it, in live voice conversations with a bilingual AI teacher. Pick the language you speak and the one you are learning, then talk: real-time voice with natural pacing, no transcripts and no waiting for the app to think. When you freeze or slip up, your teacher corrects you in the moment, and if you get stuck it helps you in the language you already know, then brings you back.
Fifteen languages in any pairing and direction: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Greek, Chinese, Russian, Turkish, Swedish, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and Hebrew, with regional accents such as Argentine Spanish, Parisian French, or Brazilian Portuguese. Rehearse a job interview, order coffee, navigate a doctor visit, or just chat about your day.
