You can test this model online with the Space for Romanian Speech Recognition The model ranked TOP-1 on Romanian Speech Recognition during HuggingFace's Robust Speech Challenge : This model is a fine-tuned version of facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m on the Common Voice 8.0 - Romanian subset dataset, with extra training data from Romanian Speech Synthesis dataset. Without the 5-gram Language Model optimization, it achieves the following results on the evaluation set (Common Voice 8.0, Romanian subset, test split): The architecture is based on facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m with a speech recognition CTC head and an added 5-gram language model (using pyctcdecode and kenlm) trained on the Romanian Corpora Parliament dataset. Those libraries are needed in order for the language model-boosted decoder to work. The model is made for speech recognition in Romanian from audio clips sampled at 16kHz. The predicted text is lowercased and does not contain any punctuation. Make sure you have installed…

Compatibility and lineage

Reported languages: ro

Reported base models: facebook/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m

Parameter count is not a RAM/VRAM requirement. Check precision, quantization, context length and runtime compatibility in the model card; no hardware or API-cost claim is inferred here.

Use and evaluate

Check license terms and access requirements first. Review the model card’s documented loading instructions, evaluations and safety limitations. Benchmark scores are not imported by this directory, and popularity is not an accuracy ranking.

No model weights are downloaded or executed by AltAPIs. Never enable remote model code without reviewing it.
