Citrinet-1024 model which has been trained on the ASR dataset with over 2600 hours of Russian(ru-RU) speech. It utilizes a Google SentencePiece [1] tokenizer with vocabulary size 1024, and transcribes text in Russian alphabet along with spaces.
Citrinet is a deep residual convolutional neural network architecture that is optimized for Automatic Speech Recognition tasks. There are many variants of the Citrinet family of models, which are further discussed in the paper [2].
The model was trained on various proprietary and open-source datasets. These datasets include variety of accents, domain specific data for various domains, spontaneous speech and dialogue, all of which contribute to the model’s accuracy. This model delivers WER that is better than or comparable to popular alternate Speech to Text solutions for a range of domains and use cases.
