10-minute result was on English LibriSpeech, not Swahili; the '6,000-fold vs 1,000 hours' framing is unverified.
BeforeWav2Vec 2.0 fine-tuned on just 10 minutes of labeled Swahili speech outperformed models trained from scratch on 1,000 hours of data, a 6,000-fold reduction...
AfterWav2Vec 2.0 fine-tuned on just 10 minutes of labeled English speech (LibriSpeech) achieved low word-error rates that previously required vastly more transcribed audio, dramatically reducing the labeled data requirement.
Why: Verified the corrected text is present in the body, replacing the unverified Swahili/6,000-fold claim with the accurate English LibriSpeech framing. The bibliography and FAQ do not reference this specific Wav2Vec claim, so there was no stale content to fix elsewhere. No changes needed.
