frWhisper is launched!

French transcription with a fine-tuned Whisper model

FrWhisper is a fine-tuned version of OpenAI's Whisper Large V3 model, specifically optimized for French speech recognition with enhanced capabilities for transcribing interjections, hesitations, word repetitions, and interrupted words in conversational French. FrWhisper was developed through a collaboration between the Chair of Romance Linguistics (French and Italian), coordinated by Annette Gerstenberg, and Hanno Müller at the AI Service Center of the Hasso-Plattner-Institut, with financial support from the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.
