This model is a fine-tuned version of [facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-1b](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-1b) on French using the train and validation splits of [Common Voice 11.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0), [Multilingual LibriSpeech](https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/multilingual_librispeech), [Voxpopuli](https://github.com/facebookresearch/voxpopuli), [Multilingual TEDx](http://www.openslr.org/100), [MediaSpeech](https://www.openslr.org/108), and [African Accented French](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gigant/african_accented_french) on 16kHz sampled speech audio. When using the model make sure that your speech input is also sampled at 16Khz.

*Genrally we advise to use [bofenghuang/asr-wav2vec2-ctc-french](https://huggingface.co/bofenghuang/asr-wav2vec2-ctc-french) because it has the smaller model size and the better performance.*
