Restricted access
The checkpoint is published specifically for Punjabi
The inference instructions use AI4Bharat's NeMo fork and demonstrate both CTC and RNNT decoding. Audio preprocessing converts the recording to mono at 16,000 Hz. The 120M figure describes the encoder, not a separately measured total system size.IndicConformer Punjabi 120M official model card
Keep the language-specific checkpoint with its decoder
Practical guidance. Use this release for a focused Punjabi comparison. If recordings contain more than one language, compare it with the multilingual model before choosing the smaller encoder.
