End-to-end neural automatic speech recognition system for low resource languages by Sami Dhahbi, Nasir Saleem, Sami Bourouis, Mouhebeddine Berrima, Elena Verdú

“…This study leverages a non-autoregressive neural text-to-speech (TTS) engine to generate high-quality speech, converting a series of phonemes into speech waveforms (mel-spectrograms). An on-the-fly data augmentation method is applied to these mel-spectrograms, treating them as images from which features are extracted to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM)-based ASR. …”
