Falcon ASR
Falcon ASR is TII's 1.6B speech recognition model with a focus on Arabic and the Emirati dialect. It also transcribes English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. The published access route is a public demo.
One model handles the supported languages
The model uses the same weights across five languages without a language flag. Its training included noise, overlapping speakers, reverberation and telephone effects. The release links to a demo, rather than a downloadable weight repository.TII: Introducing Falcon ASR
Review names and mixed-language speech
Practical guidance. For an Emirati recording, check place names, local expressions and changes between Arabic and English. Word-level timestamps can help reviewers find errors. The public clip demo does not establish limits for a future batch or streaming API.
