whisper-base-ft-cv-cy-en-cpp

This model is a version of the openai/whisper-base model, fine-tuned on the techiaith/commonvoice_18_0_cy_en dataset, and then converted for use in whisper.cpp. Whispercpp is a C/C++ port of Whisper that provides high performance inference on offline hardware such as desktops, laptops and mobile devices.

The model is a smaller in size to the corresponding cloud hosted model techiaith/whisper-large-v3-ft-cv-cy-en. It achieves a success rate of 98.34% on detecting the correct language in speech, while for transcribing it achieves the following WER results:

  • Welsh: 40.10
  • English: 30.9

Usage

whispercpp makes it easy to use models in many platforms and applications. See the 'examples' folder in the whispercpp github repo for more information and example code.

To get quickly started with whispercpp's basic usage however, follow the 'Quick Start' but download this model with the following command:

$ wget https://huggingface.co./techiaith/whisper-base-ft-cv-cy-en-cpp/resolve/main/ggml-model.bin
