## Nova-3 Adds Armenian, Plus Improved Models for Tamil, Indonesian, and Belarusian

We have added Armenian as a new Nova-3 language and released improved Nova-3 monolingual models for several existing languages. These updates expand language coverage and enhance transcription quality for both batch and streaming workloads.

### 🆕 New language

- Armenian (`hy`) — available for batch and streaming. Access it by setting `model="nova-3"` and `language="hy"` in your request.

### ✨ Improved models

#### Batch models

- Tamil (`ta`)
- Indonesian (`id`)

#### Streaming models

- Tamil (`ta`)
- Belarusian (`be`)

You do not need to change your API requests to access the improvements to existing languages; the updates are live for all users.
