Feature request - Ukrainian model

[egorsmkv]

🚀 Feature

We would like to have a Ukrainian model for the task of Speech-to-Text.

Motivation

Ukraine has a large population and in the country and there are tons of tasks related to Speech-to-Text.

Additional context

Our group that is based in Telegram ( https://t.me/speech_recognition_uk ) collected a dataset of Ukrainian public speeches/interviews in audio and text formats accessed here: https://mega.nz/folder/T34DQSCL#Q1O8vcrX_8Qnp27Ge56_4A/folder/O3hzlKIJ

We think this dataset will be helpful in the training process.

Also we have own repository where we’re collecting links to datasets: https://github.com/egorsmkv/speech-recognition-uk

Hi,

This is exactly the effort I would expect from the community for low-resource languages
For now - I will just fit a model on your data as is and share the model via silero-models
Then when V3 compact models arrive for all languages, I will consider tuning a Russian model on your corpus

Just a few ideas on how to make your repo better:

• Add some table with overall statistics
• Add some commands (maybe some cli to download your files)
• Direct links are always nice

Thanks for your suggestions!

I updated the models and purged the CDN cache.

It is unlikely that much will change soon, so if everything works let's close the ticket.
