# PreTrain Wav2Vec2 in Persian

There is currently only a multilingually pretrained model for Persian Wav2Vec2. Let’s make a Wav2Vec2 only pretrained on Persian.

## Model

A randomly initialized Wav2Vec2 model

## Datasets

One can make use of [Common Voice](https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/languages) the dataset is also available through the `datasets` library here: [common\_voice · Datasets at Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/datasets/common_voice).

## Available training scripts

FlaxWav2Vec2 will be merged soon: [[Flax] Add wav2vec2 by Patrickvonplaten · Pull Request #12271 · huggingface/transformers · GitHub ](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/12271) and a pretraining script should be relatively easy to be merged.

## (Optional) Desired project outcome

The best Persian ASR model.

## (Optional) Challenges

It might make sense to use more data than just the common voice.
