wrong language detection and forcing the right one

[dgiunchi]

I have an audio where the speech is not detected as English but as Nynorsk.
Is there a way to force the language to be the one that I know is correct?

If you mean the spoken audio, then thats the --language parameter for you can use --language ja for example to force language and skip the auto detection.

--language {af,am,ar,as,az,ba,be,bg,bn,bo,br,bs,ca,cs,cy,da,de,el,en,es,et,eu,fa,fi,fo,fr,gl,gu,ha,haw,hi,hr,ht,hu,hy,id,is,it,iw,ja,jw,ka,kk,km,kn,ko,la,lb,ln,lo,lt,lv,mg,mi,mk,ml,mn,mr,ms,mt,my,ne,nl,nn,no,oc,pa,pl,ps,pt,ro,ru,sa,sd,si,sk,sl,sn,so,sq,sr,su,sv,sw,ta,te,tg,th,tk,tl,tr,tt,uk,ur,uz,vi,yi,yo,zh,Afrikaans,Albanian,Amharic,Arabic,Armenian,Assamese,Azerbaijani,Bashkir,Basque,Belarusian,Bengali,Bosnian,Breton,Bulgarian,Burmese,Castilian,Catalan,Chinese,Croatian,Czech,Danish,Dutch,English,Estonian,Faroese,Finnish,Flemish,French,Galician,Georgian,German,Greek,Gujarati,Haitian,Haitian Creole,Hausa,Hawaiian,Hebrew,Hindi,Hungarian,Icelandic,Indonesian,Italian,Japanese,Javanese,Kannada,Kazakh,Khmer,Korean,Lao,Latin,Latvian,Letzeburgesch,Lingala,Lithuanian,Luxembourgish,Macedonian,Malagasy,Malay,Malayalam,Maltese,Maori,Marathi,Moldavian,Moldovan,Mongolian,Myanmar,Nepali,Norwegian,Nynorsk,Occitan,Panjabi,Pashto,Persian,Polish,Portuguese,Punjabi,Pushto,Romanian,Russian,Sanskrit,Serbian,Shona,Sindhi,Sinhala,Sinhalese,Slovak,Slovenian,Somali,Spanish,Sundanese,Swahili,Swedish,Tagalog,Tajik,Tamil,Tatar,Telugu,Thai,Tibetan,Turkish,Turkmen,Ukrainian,Urdu,Uzbek,Valencian,Vietnamese,Welsh,Yiddish,Yoruba}
                        language spoken in the audio, specify None to perform language detection (default: None)

Unless the actual recording is really bad. then i have seen it detect this language for a horrible recording.

I have the same problem. Using ''--language'' is the solution.
I think Whisper detects wrong because it will cut the video's first 30 seconds to detect the language if you don't specify one.
