+## Speech Transcriptions
+
+While SpeechMatrix focuses on speech-only data mining and translation, we provide transcriptions for the mined speech in case they are needed for future research. The transcriptions are generated with [Whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper), we use medium.en for English transcribing, and medium for other langauges. Curently transcriptions are provided the target speech in these language directions: {"cs", "de", "en", "es", "et", "fi", "fr", "hu", "it", "lt", "nl", "pl", "pt", "ro", "sl"}-{"de", "en", "es", "fr", "nl"}.

+# SAVE_ROOT: the directory to save mined data
+python mined_train_sets/download_transcriptions.py \
+    --save-root ${SAVE_ROOT}
