myMediWhisper: Construction of Burmese Medical Speech Corpus and Whisper Fine-Tuning for Clinical Dialogue ASR
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read

- What happened
- Researchers fine-tuned OpenAI's Whisper model for Burmese medical speech recognition using a 28-hour corpus, achieving 23.44% word error rate.
- Why it matters
- Matters for engineers building speech systems for low-resource languages or medical applications requiring domain-specific accuracy in non-English contexts.
- Watch out
- The 28-hour corpus is relatively small; generalization to other Burmese medical domains or speakers outside the training set remains unclear.
