<p>Automatic speech recognition (ASR) converts a speech signal to text. It is an example of a sequence-to-sequence task, going from a sequence of audio inputs to textual outputs. Voice assistants like Siri and Alexa utilize ASR models to assist users.</p>

<p>The preprocessing function needs to:</p>
<ol><li>Call the <code>audio</code> column to load and resample the audio file.</li>
<li>Extract the <code>input_values</code> from the audio file.</li>
<li>Typically, when you call the processor, you call the feature extractor. Since you also want to tokenize text, instruct the processor to call the tokenizer instead with a context manager.</li></ol>

<p>🤗 Transformers doesn’t have a data collator for automatic speech recognition, so you will need to create one. You can adapt the <a href="/docs/transformers/pr_19907/en/main_classes/data_collator#transformers.DataCollatorWithPadding">DataCollatorWithPadding</a> to create a batch of examples for automatic speech recognition. It will also dynamically pad your text and labels to the length of the longest element in its batch, so they are a uniform length. While it is possible to pad your text in the <code>tokenizer</code> function by setting <code>padding=True</code>, dynamic padding is more efficient.</p>
<p>Unlike other data collators, this specific data collator needs to apply a different padding method to <code>input_values</code> and <code>labels</code>. You can apply a different padding method with a context manager:</p>
