# wav2vec2-xls-r-300m-wolof  

Wolof is a language spoken in Senegal and neighbouring countries, this language is not too well represented, there are few resources in the field of Text en speech
In this sense we aim to bring our contribution to this, it is in this sense that enters this repo. 

This model is a fine-tuned version of [facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m](https://huggingface.co/facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m) , that is trained with the largest available speech dataset of the  [ALLFA project](https://github.com/besacier/ALFFA_PUBLIC/tree/master/ASR/WOLOF)

It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.367826	
- Wer: 0.212565
