I didn't manage to transcribe anything (it just doesn't remember that I submitted anything), but whatever, I didn't need to anyway. I just wanted to ask: how good is Whisper with non-english? At least "major" ones, like, German, French, Russian, Spanish?

I've been using it on lots of Russian stuff and it's great, even translates for you.

I’ve tried it on French and results were pretty good

I've got people to test and usually with the 'medium' and 'large' models it works really efficiently. Honestly, I just use the large model for everything, because might as well have the best quality if you're going to do the effort.
