🤖 Whisper-Podlodka-Turbo: Improved Whisper for the Russian Language

Whisper-Podlodka-Turbo has been released — a specialized version of OpenAI's whisper-large-v3-turbo, fine-tuned for high-quality Russian speech recognition. The model significantly reduces Word Error Rate (WER) and performs better in noisy conditions.

The emergence of highly specialized models based on SOTA architectures allows for improved ASR quality in local language pairs.

When used for transcribing podcasts or videos in Russian, this model will provide cleaner text with correct punctuation.
