Hm. I saw language=detect and tried some Japanese - which (given the actual list of supported languages) unsurprisingly turned into some mangled Spanish.

Since it doesn't support Norwegian - I tried English - and it mis-transcribed "cleaning" for "training" - probably a failure due to context/training (Hello everyone, today we are going to do some cleaning).

So, reasonable, but limited?

Maybe I was unclear - I tried Japanese before I saw the list, then English and with that sample of one, it got it wrong.

So limited selection of languages, not stellar performance?
