What happened and what to do
On November 10, 2025, Meta announced Omnilingual ASR, an open-source collection of automatic speech recognition models and a dataset covering more than 1,600 languages. According to the article, 500 of those languages were described as previously unsupported.
Companies serving users or operating across languages can assess where speech transcription could improve customer service, search, or content analysis. An implementation could include consent-based audio collection, processing on the company’s own infrastructure, language-specific quality review, and integration with existing systems.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose audio workflows and privacy and quality requirements, define the scope, and implement and operate a transcription solution integrated with the company’s infrastructure.
