                <br><br>
                 This is a demo for a multilingual, Transformer-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) system for the languages of Ethiopia. 
                 The supported languages are Amharic, Tigrinya, Afaan Oromo, Sidama, and Wolaytta
                <br><br>                   
                Simply <strong>upload an audio file</strong> 📤 or <strong>record yourself speaking</strong> 🎙️⏺️ to try out the model!
