Meta made a new tool that can listen to someone talk in almost any language and turn it into written words. It’s called Omnilingual ASR. ASR just means a computer hears you speak and writes it down.

Most voice tools today only work in big languages like English or Spanish. But millions of people speak other languages—and now this tool can help them too.

It’s like having a super translator that knows even rare languages. Anyone can try it, and people can even help the AI learn their language with just a few examples.

This means more people around the world can use voice tools, captions, and apps—no matter where they’re from.

  4. Generate Captions: Press "Generate." The model will transcribe the file and return full SRT-formatted captions.
  5. Save Your File: Copy the output, paste into Notepad/TextEdit, and save as captions.srt using "All Files (*.*)".
