## Specify the language

You can use the optional `language_code` parameter to specify the language of the spoken audio in the files that you submit to the API. If you don't include a `language_code` parameter in your request, it defaults to `en_us`.

To learn more about using the `language_code` parameter, see [Set language manually](/docs/speech-to-text/speech-recognition#set-language-manually).

<Tip>
  If you're unsure of the spoken language spoken in your audio file, you can use our [Automatic Language Detection](/docs/speech-to-text/speech-recognition#automatic-language-detection) feature to automatically identify the dominant language in your file
</Tip>

## Specify the speech model

You can use the optional `speech_model` parameter to specify the class of models. To learn more, see [Select the speech model](/docs/speech-to-text/speech-recognition#select-the-speech-model-with-best-and-nano).
