@AI Evy Hi, I’m testing a Retell AI and had a quick question about Czech language support. The bot can speak Czech quite well, but the speech-to-text transcription seems inaccurate, which leads to wrong responses. Is there a way to: set a specific ASR/transcriber for Czech, or improve Czech transcription accuracy in general? Do you officially support Czech ASR, or is it handled by a multilingual fallback model? Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Thanks for tagging me @MICHAEL RAYWEN. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.
### Answer Czech is listed as a supported TTS language for ElevenLabs [(1) ]() , which explains why your bot speaks Czech well. However, the sources don't explicitly list Czech as a supported ASR language with the same level of optimization as major languages. To improve Czech transcription accuracy: 1. Enable Accurate mode – Switch your transcription mode to "optimized for accuracy" rather than speed. This can help with transcription quality. [(2) ]() 2. Use Boosted Keywords – Add Czech domain-specific terms or commonly misheard words as custom keywords (up to 100 supported) to enhance the model's vocabulary. 3. Adjust denoising settings – If background noise is contributing to errors, try different denoising mode settings. Regarding ASR provider selection: The sources indicate Retell uses Deepgram for ASR, but you cannot currently specify your own transcription model. [(3) ]() Note: Retell recently upgraded ASR quality for seven languages (German, French, Italian, Polish, and others) , but Czech was not specifically mentioned in that update. [(4) ]() The multilingual option may be handling Czech through a fallback model rather than a dedicated Czech ASR. For further clarification on official Czech ASR support, you may want to reach out via [Contact Sales]() or check [Retell's GitHub]() .
