Summary
This model card provides information about a model based on the tiny whisper architecture that has been trained for speech recognition in German.
Whisper is a powerful speech recognition platform developed by OpenAI.
Applications
This model can be used in various application areas, including
- Transcription of spoken German language
- Voice commands and voice control
- Automatic subtitling for German videos
- Voice-based search queries in German
- Dictation functions in word processing programs
Evaluations - Word error rate
