Multilingual ASR for Kinyarwanda, Swahili, and Luganda
How to Use this Model
The model is available for use in the NeMo toolkit [3], and can be used as a pre-trained checkpoint for inference or for fine-tuning on another dataset.
Automatically instantiate the model
import nemo.collections.asr as nemo_asr
asr_model = nemo_asr.models.ASRModel.from_pretrained("mbazaNLP/stt_rw_sw_lg_conformer_ctc_large")
Transcribing using Python
First, let's get a sample
wget https://dldata-public.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/2086-149220-0033.wav
Then simply do:
asr_model.transcribe(['2086-149220-0033.wav'])
Transcribing many audio files
python [NEMO_GIT_FOLDER]/examples/asr/transcribe_speech.py pretrained_name="mbazaNLP/stt_rw_sw_lg_conformer_ctc_large" audio_dir="<DIRECTORY CONTAINING AUDIO FILES>"
Input
This model accepts 16000 KHz Mono-channel Audio (wav files) as input.
Output
This model provides transcribed speech as a string for a given audio sample.

Limitations
Eg: Since this model was trained on publically available speech datasets, the performance of this model might degrade for speech which includes technical terms, or vernacular that the model has not been trained on. The model might also perform worse for accented speech.
