Because language models differ in maturity across languages\u2014and because some interviews naturally mix languages or technical terminology\u2014AI Note quality can vary. In mixed-language scenarios, certain words or phrases may be interpreted differently depending on context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For best results, we recommend testing a short sample recording in the language(s) you plan to use. As Azure continues to improve its multilingual models, those enhancements will automatically benefit our AI Notes, highlights, and outline features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"video-demo\">Video demo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<lite-youtube\n    videoid=\"ioHUmBy4Zj0\"\n            params=\"rel=0\"\n        style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/ioHUmBy4Zj0\/maxresdefault.webp');\">\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ioHUmBy4Zj0\" class=\"lty-playbtn\" title=\"Play Video\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n            <span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video: Live Interview Transcription Overview<\/span>\n      <\/a>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"parent":835,"menu_order":20,"template":"","class_list":["post-39414","doc","type-doc","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderpad.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc\/39414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderpad.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderpad.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/doc"}],"version-history":[{"count":41,"href":"https:\/\/coderpad.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc\/39414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44786,"href":"https:\/\/coderpad.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc\/39414\/revisions\/44786"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coderpad.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/doc\/835"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coderpad.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
