Overview

Qwen3-ASR-Akuapem-Twi is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) model fine-tuned to transcribe Akuapem Twi speech into text. It adapts the Qwen3-ASR-1.7B foundation model for Ghanaian Twi speech recognition using the Akuapem Twi subset of the Ghana Speech datase#

Training data

Trained on the Ghana Speech dataset (audio + text, 42 Ghanaian language subsets), licensed CC BY-NC 4.0.

Intended use & license

Non-commercial use only (CC BY-NC 4.0, inherited from the training data).

How to use

python

```python
import torch
