# stt_es_quartznet15x5_ft_ep53_944h
**Paper:** [The state of end-to-end systems for Mexican Spanish speech recognition](http://journal.sepln.org/sepln/ojs/ojs/index.php/pln/article/viewFile/6485/3892)

**NOTE! This model was trained with the NeMo version: nemo-toolkit==1.10.0**

The "stt_es_quartznet15x5_ft_ep53_944h" is an acoustic model created with NeMo which is suitable for Automatic Speech Recognition in Spanish. 

It is the result of fine-tuning the model ["stt_es_quartznet15x5.nemo"](https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/teams/nemo/models/stt_es_quartznet15x5) with around 944 hours of Spanish data gathered or developed by the [CIEMPIESS-UNAM Project](https://huggingface.co/ciempiess) since 2012. Most of the data is available at the the CIEMPIESS-UNAM Project homepage http://www.ciempiess.org/. The rest can be found in public repositories such as [LDC](https://www.ldc.upenn.edu/) or [OpenSLR](https://openslr.org/)

The specific list of corpora used to fine-tune the model is:
