This Program converts English Speech to Kikuyu Text (A low resourced language in Kenya) Text using AI - Speech-to-Text Service # Baini # A Kikuyu ASR Project ## Introduction The Kikuyu ASR Project is an initiative to develop an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) system for the Kikuyu language, a low-resource language spoken in Kenya. This ASR system aims to accurately transcribe spoken Kikuyu into text, making it accessible, searchable, and useful for various applications. ## Project Goals - **Data Collection**: Gather a diverse and representative dataset of spoken Kikuyu language samples. - **Data Preprocessing**: Clean, preprocess, and augment the collected data to create a suitable training dataset. - **Feature Extraction**: Extract relevant audio features for effective representation of speech signals. - **Model Selection**: Experiment with different ML models to identify the best architecture for Kikuyu ASR. - **Training and Optimization**: Train and optimize the selected model(s) for accurate transcription. - **Evaluation**: Assess the ASR system's performance using relevant metrics. - **Deployment**: Develop a user-friendly interface for accessibility. - **Continuous Improvement**: Implement feedback mechanisms for ongoing improvement. ## Getting Started ### Prerequisites - Python 3
