## Model description

This model is a fine-tuned version of [openai/whisper-tiny](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-tiny) on the google/fleurs dataset. It improves the WER from 102.3 as stated in the [Whisper Paper](https://cdn.openai.com/papers/whisper.pdf) to 0.42 on the Hindi Subset of google/fleurs

## Intended uses & limitations

This model is intended to be used on Edge Low Compute Devices such as the Raspbery Pi Pico/3/3B/4 and offers real time transcription of Hindi audio into the English Lexicon.

## Training and evaluation data

The model was trained on `google/fleurs`'s `hi_in` Subset and used WER as the evaluation criteria

## Training procedure

### Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:
- learning_rate: 1e-05
- train_batch_size: 32
- eval_batch_size: 32
- seed: 42
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
- lr_scheduler_type: constant_with_warmup
- lr_scheduler_warmup_steps: 50
- training_steps: 500
- mixed_precision_training: Native AMP
