whisper-large-v2-arabic-5k-steps

This model is a fine-tuned version of openai/whisper-large-v2 on the Arabic CommonVoice dataset (v11). It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

• Loss: 0.3434
• Wer: 0.4239

Model description

This model is finetuned for 5000 steps for research purposes which means that the transcriptions might not be that satisfactory for users.
