How accurate is Urdu transcription

Real word error rate on the FLEURS benchmark, and the model we recommend for it

85.6%Studio accuracy
Moderate accuracy tier

For Urdu, use the Studio model

The free Turbo model struggles with Urdu (around 46.6% word error rate). Studio drops that to about 14.4%, a large jump in accuracy. For Urdu, Studio is the one to use

Script and dialects

Urdu output, written the right way

Output is in Urdu script, right-to-left. Standard Urdu transcribes best, but Urdu is demanding for speech recognition. Casual speech borrows heavily from English and shares much spoken vocabulary with Hindi, which can confuse the script. The free Turbo model is weak on Urdu, so Studio is the right choice.
