WindyWord/listen-windy-lingua-hi-ct2

WindyWord.ai STT — Hindi Lingua (CPU INT8 (CTranslate2))

Part of the Windstorm Labs open model catalogue. Scores, licence and attribution for every model: https://windytranslate.com/models/listen-windy-lingua-hi-ct2

Transcribes Hindi speech (Indo-European > Indo-Iranian > Indo-Aryan).

Note: Outputs Hindi audio as Latin-script Hinglish, NOT Devanagari. FLEURS-Devanagari WER ≈100% is a script mismatch, not a quality failure. Useful for code-switched / chat / SMS contexts. For Devanagari output, use a separate model (not yet shipped).

Quality

• WER: not yet measured by us. Imported from an upstream community fine-tune.
