  # LeBenchmark: wav2vec2 base model trained on 1K hours of French *female-only* speech
  
    
  LeBenchmark provides an ensemble of pretrained wav2vec2 models on different French datasets containing spontaneous, read, and broadcasted speech. 
  
  For more information about our gender study for SSL moddels, please refer to our paper at: [A Study of Gender Impact in Self-supervised Models for Speech-to-Text Systems](https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.01397)
  
    
  ## Model and data descriptions
  
  We release four gender-specific models trained on 1K hours of speech.

  ## Intended uses & limitations
  
  Pretrained wav2vec2 models are distributed under the Apache-2.0 license. Hence, they can be reused extensively without strict limitations. However, benchmarks and data may be linked to corpora that are not completely open-sourced.
