# Model

This repository contains the first version of our Automatic Speech Recognition and Subtitle Generation model, trained on 2000 hours of Flemish broadcast subtitled speech data. 
It is converted to a simple ASR model, which outputs only a verbatim transcription.

**Version**: September 2023

# Usage

This repository only hosts the pre-trained model itself and the configuration files. 
To download this model, see the instructions [here](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/models-downloading).

Usage of this model, as well as our other ASR models, is integrated in [our Github codebase](https://github.com/nelfproject/NeLF_Transcription_ASR).
Please refer to the Github for installation.

# Webservice

This model can also be accessed through the [webservice of the NeLF Project](https://nelfproject.be/web_service.php). After requesting access, you can upload audio or video files and they will be transcribed according to the desired settings.
