+
+## 🌟 Overview
+
+Ringg STT V0 is a state-of-the-art speech-to-text system that provides real-time transcription for English and Hindi languages. Our model ranks **2nd place** among top bilingual ASR models, outperforming OpenAI Whisper Large-v3 and other leading solutions.
+
+## 📊 Performance Benchmarks
+
+| Model | Indic Norm WER ↓ | Whisper Norm WER ↓ |
+|-------|------------------|---------------------|
+| AI4Bharat | 18.55% | 63.31% |
+| IndicWav2Vec (Winner) | — | — |
+| **Ringg STT V0** | **21.03%** | **66.27%** |
+| VakyanSh Wav2Vec2 | 24.06% | 66.34% |
+| Whisper Large-v3 | 29.17% | 63.31% |
+| Whisper Large-v2 | 37.50% | 66.27% |
+
+**Lower WER (Word Error Rate) indicates better accuracy.** Ringg STT V0 achieves competitive performance while supporting bilingual transcription.
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- 🌐 **Bilingual Support**: Native support for English and Hindi speech recognition
+- ⚡ **Real-time Streaming**: Instant transcription as you speak
+- 🎯 **High Accuracy**: 2nd place among top bilingual ASR models
+- 📁 **File Upload**: Support for various audio formats (WAV, MP3, FLAC, M4A, etc.)
+- 🚀 **Fast Processing**: Optimized for low-latency inference
+- 💬 **Code-switching**: Handles mixed English-Hindi speech
+
+## 🎯 Model Details
+
+| Specification | Details |
+|--------------|---------|
+| **Model Name** | Ringg STT V0 |
+| **Languages** | English (EN) & Hindi (HI) |
+| **Performance** | 2nd place among top models |
+| **Sample Rate** | 16kHz |
+
+
+## 🚀 Usage
+
+### Real-time Streaming
+1. Go to the **"Real-time Streaming"** tab
+2. Allow microphone permissions when prompted
+3. Start speaking in English or Hindi
+4. See real-time transcription appear
+
+### File Upload
+1. Go to the **"File Upload"** tab
+2. Upload your audio file (WAV, MP3, FLAC, M4A, etc.)
+3. Click **"Transcribe"**
+4. View the transcription result
+
+## 💡 Tips for Best Results
+
+- **Audio Quality**: Use clear audio with minimal background noise
+- **Speaking Style**: Speak naturally at a moderate pace
+- **File Format**: 16kHz or higher sample rate recommended
+- **Code-switching**: Model handles English-Hindi mixing, but accuracy is best when minimizing switches within sentences
+
+## 📊 Use Cases
+
+- 🤖 Voice assistants and chatbots
+- 📝 Meeting transcription
+- 🎬 Content creation and subtitling
+- ♿ Accessibility applications
+- 🔍 Voice search and commands
+- 📞 Call center automation
+- 🎓 Educational tools
+- 🌍 Multilingual communication
+
+## 🔧 Technical Details
+
+### Audio Processing
+- **Input Format**: Mono audio, automatically resampled to 16kHz
+- **Processing**: Chunked streaming with 3-second buffers
+- **Latency**: ~2-3 seconds for real-time streaming
+- **GPU Acceleration**: CUDA-enabled for faster inference
+
+### Supported Audio Formats
+- WAV (PCM, 16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit)
+- MP3
+- FLAC
+- M4A
+- OGG
+- OPUS
+
+## 📝 Limitations
+
+- Works best with clear audio and minimal background noise
+- Accuracy may vary with strong accents and dialects
+- Code-switching within sentences may occasionally affect accuracy
+- Very long audio files may take longer to process
+
+
+## 📈 Performance
+
+- **WER (Word Error Rate)**: Optimized for conversational speech
+- **RTF (Real-Time Factor)**: < 0.3 on GPU (faster than real-time)
+- **Languages**: English & Hindi with native support

+            The transcription service runs on a private infrastructure and is accessed via a secure API endpoint.
+            
+            #### How it Works:
+            1. 🎤 You interact with this Hugging Face Space (frontend)
+            2. 📡 Audio is sent to the private API endpoint
+            3. 🤖 The model processes the audio on secure infrastructure
+            4. 📝 Transcription is returned and displayed
+            
+            #### Benefits:
+            - 🔒 **Privacy**: Model and data stay on private infrastructure
+            - ⚡ **Performance**: Dedicated compute resources
+            - 🎯 **Control**: Full control over the model and processing

+            ## About Ringg STT V0
+            
+            Ringg STT V0 is a state-of-the-art speech-to-text system for English and Hindi languages.
+            
+            ### 🎯 Model Details
+            - **Model**: Ringg STT V0
+            - **Languages**: English (EN) & Hindi (HI)
+            - **Sample Rate**: 16kHz
+            - **Performance**: 2nd place among top bilingual ASR models
+            - **Framework**: PyTorch-based deep learning
+            
+            ### 🏗️ Architecture
+            
+            This Space uses a **frontend-backend architecture**:
+            
+            ```
+            User → HF Space (Frontend) → API Endpoint → Private Server (Model) → Response
+            ```
+            
+            - **Frontend**: This Hugging Face Space (Gradio UI)
+            - **Backend**: Private inference server with the actual model
+            - **Connection**: Secure API calls via ngrok/tunnel
+            
+            ### 🚀 Key Features
+            - **Bilingual Recognition**: Native support for English and Hindi
+            - **Real-time Streaming**: Low-latency transcription
+            - **High Accuracy**: Optimized for conversational speech
+            - **Flexible Input**: Supports microphone streaming and file upload
+            - **Private Infrastructure**: Model runs on your own infrastructure
+            
+            ### 📊 Use Cases
+            - Voice assistants and chatbots
+            - Meeting transcription
+            - Content creation and subtitling
+            - Accessibility applications
+            - Voice search and commands
+            
+            ### 🔧 Technical Specifications
+            - **Audio Processing**: 16kHz mono, PCM16
+            - **Latency**: ~2-3 seconds for streaming
+            - **API Protocol**: REST API with base64-encoded audio
+            - **Supported Formats**: WAV, MP3, FLAC, M4A, OGG, OPUS
+            
+            ### 📝 Limitations
+            - Requires active backend API endpoint
+            - Works best with clear audio and minimal background noise
+            - Accuracy may vary with accents and dialects
+            - API latency depends on network and backend performance
+
