Wav2Vec2-base-VoxPopuli-V2

Facebook's Wav2Vec2 base model pretrained only in ro on 17.9k unlabeled datat of the VoxPopuli corpus.

The model is pretrained on 16kHz sampled speech audio. When using the model make sure that your speech input is also sampled at 16Khz.

Note: This model does not have a tokenizer as it was pretrained on audio alone. In order to use this model for speech recognition, a tokenizer should be created and the model should be fine-tuned on labeled text data in ro. Check out this blog for a more in-detail explanation of how to fine-tune the model.
