# Whisper Small Bengali
This is a fine-tuned Whisper Small model for Bengali (Bangla) speech recognition.
## Model Details
- **Base Model**: openai/whisper-small
- **Language**: Bengali (bn)
- **Training Steps**: 2000
- **Final Training Loss**: N/A
## Usage
```python
import torch
from transformers import pipeline
# choose device
device = "cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"
# create pipeline
asr = pipeline(
"automatic-speech-recognition",
model="vivasoft/whisper-small-bn",
chunk_length_s=30,
device=device
)
asr.model.config.forced_decoder_ids = asr.tokenizer.get_decoder_prompt_ids(
language="bn",
task="transcribe"
)
# load your audio file path (must be compatible, e.g., WAV/MP3)
audio_file = "/content/yt-3.mp3"
# run transcription
result = asr(audio_file)
print("Transcription:", result["text"])
```
## Training Details
- **Training Data**: openslr37
- **Language**: Bengali (bn)
- **Training Steps**: 2000
- **Batch Size**: 4
- **Learning Rate**: 1e-05
- **Optimizer**: AdamW
- **eval_wer**: 0.3080158337456705
## Limitations
- Optimized for Bengali speech only
- Works best with clear audio at 16kHz sampling rate
- May not perform well on heavily accented or noisy audio
