## Nova-3 Adds Kazakh, Plus Improved Models for Estonian, Hebrew, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, and Polish

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

### New language

- Kazakh (`kk`, `kk-KZ`) — available for batch and streaming.

Access this language by setting `model="nova-3"` and `language="kk"` in your request.

### Improved models

#### Batch and streaming models

- Polish (`pl`)
- Hebrew (`he`)

#### Batch models

- Macedonian (`mk`)

#### Streaming models

- Estonian (`et`)
- Latvian (`lv`)
- Lithuanian (`lt`)

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