 # Whisper Tiny Galician
 
-This model is a fine-tuned version of [openai/whisper-tiny](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-tiny) on the mozilla-foundation/common_voice_13_0 gl dataset.
-It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
-- Loss: 0.6003
-- Wer: 26.1331
+## Model summary
+
+**Whisper Tiny Galician** is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model for **Galician (gl)** speech. It is fine-tuned from [openai/whisper-tiny] on the **Galician portion of Mozilla Common Voice 13.0**, achieving a **Word Error Rate (WER) of 26.13%** on the Common Voice evaluation split.
+
+This model provides lightweight transcription capabilities for Galician speech, suitable for low-resource applications or devices with limited computational capacity.

 ## Model description
 
-More information needed
+* **Architecture:** Transformer-based encoder–decoder (Whisper)
+* **Base model:** openai/whisper-tiny
+* **Language:** Galician (gl)
+* **Task:** Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
+* **Output:** Text transcription in Galician
+* **Decoding:** Autoregressive sequence-to-sequence decoding
+
+This tiny model leverages Whisper’s multilingual pretraining and is fine-tuned on Galician speech data to provide basic transcription functionality for a low-resource language, ideal for experimentation and lightweight applications.
+
+---
+
+## Intended use
+
+### Primary use cases
+
+* Lightweight transcription of Galician audio recordings
+* Low-resource or offline ASR pipelines
+* Educational and research purposes
+
+### Intended users
+
+* Researchers working on Galician or low-resource ASR
+* Developers building Galician speech applications
+* Academic or institutional users
 
-## Intended uses & limitations
+### Out-of-scope use
 
-More information needed
+* High-accuracy transcription requirements
+* Real-time or low-latency ASR without optimization
+* Speech translation tasks
+
+---
+
+## Limitations and known issues
+
+* Performance may degrade on:
+  * Noisy or low-quality recordings
+  * Conversational or spontaneous speech
+  * Accents underrepresented in Common Voice
+* Transcription errors are expected due to the small model size
+* Dataset biases from Common Voice may be reflected in outputs
+
+Users are encouraged to evaluate the model on their own data before deployment.

 ## Training and evaluation data
 
-More information needed
+### Training data
+
+* **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)
+
+---
+
+## Evaluation results
+
+| Metric     | Value      |
+| ---------- | ---------- |
+| WER (eval) | **26.13%** |
+
+This reflects the expected performance of a tiny Whisper model fine-tuned for Galician.
