The abstract from the paper is the following:
Expanding the language coverage of speech technology has the potential to improve access to information for many more people. 
However, current speech technology is restricted to about one hundred languages which is a small fraction of the over 7,000
languages spoken around the world. 
The Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) project increases the number of supported languages by 10-40x, depending on the task. 
The main ingredients are a new dataset based on readings of publicly available religious texts and effectively leveraging
self-supervised learning. We built pre-trained wav2vec 2.0 models covering 1,406 languages, 
a single multilingual automatic speech recognition model for 1,107 languages, speech synthesis models 
for the same number of languages, as well as a language identification model for 4,017 languages. 
Experiments show that our multilingual speech recognition model more than halves the word error rate of 
Whisper on 54 languages of the FLEURS benchmark while being trained on a small fraction of the labeled data.
Here are the different models open sourced in the MMS project. The models and code are originally released here. We have add them to the transformers framework, making them easier to use.
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
The ASR model checkpoints  can be found here : mms-1b-fl102, mms-1b-l1107, mms-1b-all. For best accuracy, use the mms-1b-all model.
