# Wav2Vec2-large-VoxPopuli-V2 |
|
|
|
[Facebook's Wav2Vec2](https://ai.facebook.com/blog/wav2vec-20-learning-the-structure-of-speech-from-raw-audio/) large model pretrained only in **west_germanic** on **66.3** unlabeled datat of the [VoxPopuli corpus](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.00390). |
|
|
|
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 **west_germanic**. Check out [this blog](https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-xlsr-wav2vec2) for a more in-detail explanation of how to fine-tune the model. |
