 Model description  Wav2Vec2 XLS-R is Facebook AI's large-scale multilingual pretrained model for speech. It is pretrained on 436k hours of unlabeled speech, including VoxPopuli, MLS, CommonVoice, BABEL, and VoxLingua107. It uses the wav2vec 2.0 objective, in 128 languages.  You can read more about the pretrained model from [this blog](https://ai.facebook.com/blog/xls-r-self-supervised-speech-processing-for-128-languages) and [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.09296).  This model is fine-tuned version of the pretrained model (1 billion parameter variant) for Finnish ASR.
