🧪 Inference Example

import torch
import librosa
from transformers import Wav2Vec2Processor, Wav2Vec2ForCTC

model_id = "Quyashbek/wav2vec2-xls-r-300m-karakalpak-asr"

processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained(model_id)

speech, sr = librosa.load("your_audio.wav", sr=16000)

inputs = processor(speech, sampling_rate=16000, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)

with torch.no_grad():
    logits = model(inputs.input_values).logits

pred_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
transcription = processor.batch_decode(pred_ids)[0]

print(transcription)
