Video Indexer supported languages


I want to know what languages are supported by the video indexer;

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/video-indexer/language-identification-model -- here it lists 9.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/video-indexer/multi-language-identification-transcription -- here its 4

https://api-portal.videoindexer.ai/docs/services/Operations/operations/Get-Video-Index? -- and here its 57.

So what is it? It's so confusing.


Solution

  • the languages supported by video indexer is 12 languages:

    [English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Mandarin Chines, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese (Brazilian), Arabic (Modern Standard and Levantine), Hindi, Korean]

    If you upload a video without specifying the language or select auto detect, it will work fine if the video has one spoken language of the first 9 languages.

    If the video is in the last 3 languages, you need to select the language when you upload the video.

    If the video has more than one spoken language (max 3) and the languages among these 4 languages (English, French, German, Spanish), it will work.
