III. RESULT IV. CONCLUSION
In this work, we proposed a new method for

malayalam speech recognition. Our system automatically
detects the district. Our system uses the bert model. Model is
trained in the gcp. The application is more important to the
people who can’t understand the slang. After creating the
model we achieved an accuracy of 70%.
FUTURE WORK
Now we have created our model using the bert model.

In the future we will create our model using the mum model.
Also the dataset was less. We will collect more voices, so
that we can increase the accuracy.
