What is the name of the model that Azure Speech uses for Hebrew?

Question

I'm using Azure Speech to transcribe Hebrew audio, but I'm not sure which model it uses. Can someone please provide this information? Is it the whisper model or something else? I'm getting better results than the whisper model with openai, so I'd like to know which model Azure Speech is using. Here's the code I'm currently using:

audio_config = speechsdk.audio.AudioConfig(filename=...)
conversation_transcriber = speechsdk.transcription.ConversationTranscriber(speech_config=speech_config, audio_config=audio_config, language="he-IL")

Answer 1

if you have not selected Whisper Model it uses base model by default

you can get model details from
