# Whisper Small Tamil - Hugging Face Demo

This repository hosts a demo for the **Whisper Small Tamil** model, fine-tuned for Tamil speech recognition. This model is based on OpenAI's Whisper-Small and has been trained to improve Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for Tamil language inputs.

## 🚀 Demo
Try the model directly on [🤗 Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces/deepakkumar07/whisper-small-tamil).

## 📝 Model Details
- **Base Model:** OpenAI Whisper-Small
- **Fine-tuned for:** Tamil ASR
- **Dataset Used:** Common Voice Tamil & other curated datasets
- **Supports:** Tamil speech-to-text transcription

## 🔧 How to Use
You can use this model in Python with the `transformers` library:

```python
from transformers import pipeline

# Load model from Hugging Face Hub
asr_pipeline = pipeline("automatic-speech-recognition", model="deepakkumar07/whisper-small-tamil")

# Transcribe an audio file
result = asr_pipeline("path/to/audio.wav")
print(result["text"])
```

## 📊 Performance
This model is optimized for Tamil speech but may still have minor errors in transcription, especially with noisy audio or mixed-language inputs. Contributions and improvements are welcome!

## 📌 Training Details
- Fine-tuned using the **Hugging Face Transformers** and **datasets** libraries.
- Trained on GPUs for better performance.
- Supports **streaming inference** for real-time transcription.

## 💡 Applications
- Tamil voice-to-text conversion
- Subtitling and transcription services
- Voice-controlled Tamil applications

## 🤝 Contributing
