 # Whisper Large-V3 Galician
 
-This model is a fine-tuned version of [openai/whisper-large-v3](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-large-v3) on the mozilla-foundation/common_voice_13_0 gl dataset.
-It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
-- Loss: 0.2940
-- Wer: 5.0083
+## Model summary
+
+**Whisper Large-V3 Galician** is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model for **Galician (gl)** speech. It is fine-tuned from [openai/whisper-large-v3] on the **Galician portion of Mozilla Common Voice 13.0**, achieving a **Word Error Rate (WER) of 5.01%** on the evaluation split.
+
+This model is intended for high-accuracy transcription of Galician audio in research, media, and accessibility applications.

 ## Model description
 
-More information needed
+* **Architecture:** Transformer-based encoder–decoder (Whisper)  
+* **Base model:** openai/whisper-large-v3  
+* **Language:** Galician (gl)  
+* **Task:** Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)  
+* **Output:** Text transcription in Galician  
+* **Decoding:** Autoregressive sequence-to-sequence decoding  
+
+Fine-tuned on Galician speech data, leveraging Whisper’s multilingual pretraining for low-resource language transcription.
+
+---
+
+## Intended use
+
+### Primary use cases
+
+* High-quality transcription of Galician audio recordings  
+* Offline or batch ASR pipelines  
+* Research and development in Galician ASR  
+* Media, educational, and accessibility tasks  
+
+### Intended users
+
+* Researchers working on Galician or low-resource ASR  
+* Developers building Galician speech applications  
+* Academic and institutional users  
 
-## Intended uses & limitations
+### Out-of-scope use
 
-More information needed
+* Real-time or low-latency ASR without optimization  
+* Speech translation tasks  
+* Safety-critical applications without additional validation  
+
+---
+
+## Limitations and known issues
+
+* Performance may degrade on:
+  * Noisy or low-quality recordings  
+  * Conversational or spontaneous speech  
+  * Accents underrepresented in Common Voice  
+* Dataset biases may be reflected in outputs  
+* Occasional transcription errors can occur under difficult acoustic conditions

+* **Dataset:** Mozilla Common Voice 13.0 (Galician subset)  
+* **Data type:** Crowd-sourced, read speech  
+* **Preprocessing:**  
+  * Audio resampled to 16 kHz  
+  * Text normalized using Whisper tokenizer  
+  * Filtering of invalid or problematic samples  
+
+### Evaluation data
+
+* **Dataset:** Mozilla Common Voice 13.0 (Galician evaluation split)  
+* **Metric:** Word Error Rate (WER)  
+
