# Belle-distilwhisper-large-v2-zh
Fine tune [distilwhisper-large-v2](https://huggingface.co/distil-whisper/distil-large-v2) to improve Chinese speech recognition.

Same to distilwhisper-large-v2, Belle-distilwhisper-large-v2-zh is 5.8 times faster with 51% fewer parameters compare to whisper-large-v2.

**Note that** distilwhisper-large-v2 can not transcribe Chinese(only output English) on Chinese ASR benchmark(AISHELL1, AISHELL2, WENETSPEECH, HKUST).

## Usage
```python

from transformers import pipeline

transcriber = pipeline(
  "automatic-speech-recognition", 
  model="BELLE-2/Belle-distilwhisper-large-v2-zh"
)

transcriber.model.config.forced_decoder_ids = (
  transcriber.tokenizer.get_decoder_prompt_ids(
    language="zh", 
    task="transcribe"
  )
)

transcription = transcriber("my_audio.wav") 

```
