Chinese dialects

Can datasets based on Chinese dialects or slang be used for fine-tuning this project?

Yes, it’s possible. The model is not restricted to a specific language, so as long as you have enough high-quality and well-aligned audio–text pairs, you can fine-tune it using speech data that includes Chinese dialects or slang.

However, there are a few important points to keep in mind:

• Consistency: The dataset should ideally focus on a single dialect. Mixing multiple dialects or combining dialects with Mandarin may confuse the model.
• Accurate Transcription: Dialect-specific pronunciations and slang expressions should be transcribed carefully and consistently.
• Data Diversity: The dataset should cover enough variation in tone, voice color, and speaking style for the model to learn the natural characteristics of that dialect.
