Model description

This model is a fine-tuned version of openai/whisper-tiny on the google/fleurs dataset. It improves the WER from 102.3 as stated in the Whisper Paper to 0.42 on the Hindi Subset of google/fleurs

Intended uses & limitations

This model is intended to be used on Edge Low Compute Devices such as the Raspbery Pi Pico/3/3B/4 and offers real time transcription of Hindi audio into the English Lexicon.

Training and evaluation data

The model was trained on google/fleurs's hi_in Subset and used WER as the evaluation criteria

Training procedure
