Intended Use

This model is intended for:

• Telugu speech transcription
• Rayalaseema dialect recognition
• Speech dataset research
• Educational and accessibility applications

Training Data

The model was fine-tuned using Telugu speech recordings collected from native speakers of the Rayalaseema dialect.

Evaluation
