Elpis (Accelerated Transcription)

Elpis is a tool which allows language workers with minimal computational experience to build their own speech recognition models to automatically transcribe audio. Elpis provides a way to use multiple speech recognition systems for orthographic or phonemic transcription. The current systems included are Kaldi and Huggingface Transformers wav2vec2.
