This model is a fine-tuned version of facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m on the MOZILLA-FOUNDATION/COMMON_VOICE_8_0 - JA dataset.

Kanji are converted into Hiragana using the pykakasi library during training and evaluation. The model can output both Hiragana and Katakana characters. Since there is no spacing, WER is not a suitable metric for evaluating performance and CER is more suitable.

On mozilla-foundation/common_voice_8_0 it achieved:

  • cer: 23.64%

On speech-recognition-community-v2/dev_data it achieved:

  • cer: 30.99%

It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

  • Loss: 0.5212
  • Wer: 1.3068

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
