    Model Overview

    Conformer-CTC (around 120M parameters) is trained on ASRSet with over 4100 hours of Spanish (es-US) speech. The model transcribes speech in lower case Spanish alphabet along with spaces and apostrophes.

    Model Architecture

    Conformer-CTC model is a non-autoregressive variant of Conformer model for Automatic Speech Recognition which uses CTC loss/decoding instead of Transducer. For more information, refer to the Conformer-CTC Model documentation.
