# Whisper Telugu Tiny

This model is a fine-tuned version of [openai/whisper-tiny](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-tiny) on the Telugu data available from multiple publicly available ASR corpuses.
It has been fine-tuned as a part of the Whisper fine-tuning sprint.

## Training and evaluation data at Speech Lab, IITM

Training Data: CSTD IIIT-H ASR Corpus, ULCA ASR Corpus, Shrutilipi ASR Corpus, Microsoft Research Telugu Corpus (Train+Dev), Babel ASR Corpus, Google/Fleurs (Train+Dev) set.
Evaluation Data: Babel Test, Microsoft Research Telugu Corpus Test, Google/Fleurs Test set, OpenSLR.
