For Malayalam, use the Studio model

Malayalam output, written the right way

Malayalam output is in Malayalam script. The free Turbo model is effectively unusable on Malayalam, while the Studio model is genuinely strong. Standard Kerala Malayalam transcribes well; casual speech mixes in English words and the regional varieties across northern and southern Kerala vary in difficulty.
