1111 HOURS HINDI ASR CHALLENGE 2022

A challenge on Automatic Speech Recognition for Hindi is being organized as part of INTERSPEECH 2022 by sharing the spontaneous telephone speech recordings collected by a social technology enterprise Gram Vaani. The regional variations of Hindi together with spontaneity of speech, natural background and transcriptions with varying degrees of accuracy due to crowd sourcing make it a unique corpus for automatic recognition of spontaneous telephone speech.

CHALLENGE OVERVIEW
Recent advancements in Speech technology have shown that ASR systems can work on par with humans. To build a good ASR system requires large amounts of training data and high-end computational resources.
However, when it comes to Indian languages, not everyone, especially academic institutions and startups, have access to these resources. As a part of this challenge, we will be releasing telephone quality speech data in Hindi. Everyone who participates in this challenge will then be free to use this data for research purposes.
