Repository status
This model appears to share the same base architecture, parameter count, task, and training-dataset tag as kaan84/whisper-small-sinhala-proto. If both repositories contain equivalent weights, consider keeping one as the canonical prototype and marking the other as archived or superseded to reduce user confusion.

Usage
from transformers import pipeline transcriber = pipeline( "automatic-speech-recognition", model="kaan84/whisper-sinhala-proto",) result = transcriber( "sample.wav", generate_kwargs={"language": "si", "task": "transcribe"},)print(result["text"])
Recommended use
- Sinhala ASR experiments
- Baseline and checkpoint comparison
- Error analysis across accents and recording conditions
- Further fine-tuning on appropriately licensed Sinhala speech data
This prototype is not documented or evaluated sufficiently for high-impact production use.
To complete this model card, add:
- Dataset source, license, duration, speakers, and split sizes
- Audio resampling and transcript-normalization rules
- Training hyperparameters and hardware
- Validation and test WER/CER
- Comparison with the base
openai/whisper-small model
- Known failure cases and subgroup analysis
Limitations
The model may hallucinate, omit, or incorrectly transcribe speech. Performance can vary with audio quality, noise, code-switching, accent, vocabulary, and speaker characteristics. Human review is necessary when accuracy matters.
