RIVA Conformer ASR Arabic does not provide diacritics

@jkh As for diacritics, the Riva Arabic ASR model supports diacritics but not every speech is transcribed with full diacritics, it depends on context. If the audio is in Modern Standard Arabic or dialectal speech then the model will provide only partial diacritics where the context is ambiguous or diacritics will aid meaning such as shaddah or tanween. If the speech is Quran, then the model will produce fully diacritized transcripts with harkat. So, the answer is yes diacritics are supported as a feature by the model but it’s context dependent.
