## Supported Language Codes

The following language codes are supported by the `transcription` and `alignment` models. Include the `language` field in your target when [creating a Task](https://developer.audioshake.ai/api-reference/tasks/create) to improve model accuracy and timing alignment. If omitted, the model will attempt to auto-detect the language.
