Speech to text model

[hritikksingh]

Currently, we are using google speech recognition model to convert the speech into text but instead, if you are good at NLP you can work on a better speech to text model for Indian languages. Requires knowledge of

• Python
• NLP

[Yara484]

I am a GSSoC participant, is this issue assigned yet? I code in python, did some research on NLP, and worked on small projects before so I think I can give this a try. Is understanding Indian languages a requirement?

[hritikksingh]

@Yara484 the main aim of this issue is to not use the Google speech recognition and make something of our own to reduce the dependency. Can you create a Speech to text model? If yes then I will assign it to you.

Hey hrithik,can we use pretrained models for this. I guess we will receive better output with some fine tuning

[hritikksingh]

I think we can use pre trained models, but it will increase dependencies. Go ahead and try it out, let's ee if that works out.

[aritra1804]

Thanks for assigning. Also for the dependency issue have u used virtual env? I have seen this project has a lot of dependencies,ig we can handle that with virtual env

[hritikksingh]

I didn't get you. It's a module right so eitherr you are in venv or in main env, you have to install the modules right?

[aritra1804]

Yep but if we create a shared venv,the dependencies get reduced a lot

[hritikksingh]

Yep but if we create a shared venv,the dependencies get reduced a lot

Okay we will try that. On you after this issue.

[aritra1804]

great also what is the deadline for this issue

10 days should be enough time.

[aritra1804]

Great so 10th is my deadline
