Select and use multiple languages in Cleft

Cleft is currently optimized for US English, using the Whisper model for voice recognition. However, we've enabled early access to additional languages based on user requests.

Language Support

  • Cleft supports 50+ languages that have reached our benchmark of < 50% word error rate (WER) for speech-to-text accuracy.

  • The Whisper model has been trained on 98 languages in total.

  • We're continuously improving language support based on customer feedback.

As a small bootstrapped team, we prioritize new language support based on customer requests. If you'd like to see better support for your preferred language, please reach out to us!

How to Use Multiple Languages

  1. Open the Language Settings in the Cleft app
