Hello! We're getting empty responses for Hebrew, Turkish and French audio files in adts format, but Spanish is processed fine, albeit the transcription is a bit inaccurate. Is there any known limitation for certain languages? I see that the extension is not on the list of supported extensions. Is it just a coincidence that Spanish adts file is processed in some capacity? Any guidance is really appreciated, thank you.

Hey @traugutt, you are right that we do not technically suppport adts format. If it's working for Spanish that's great, and it will likely work for other languages.

The reason you are getting empty responses is likely because the enhanced tier does not support all languages (see https://developers.deepgram.com/docs/language). Hebrew is not supported, and Turkish is only available for the base tier. French is currently in Beta for the enhanced tier, so that may be why it isn't working at the moment. If you use tier=base then you will have additional language support.
