  We present Vakyansh, an end to end toolkit for Speech Recognition in Indic
languages. India is home to almost 121 languages and around 125 crore speakers.
Yet most of the languages are low resource in terms of data and pretrained
models. Through Vakyansh, we introduce automatic data pipelines for data
creation, model training, model evaluation and deployment. We create 14,000
hours of speech data in 23 Indic languages and train wav2vec 2.0 based
pretrained models. These pretrained models are then finetuned to create state
of the art speech recognition models for 18 Indic languages which are followed
by language models and punctuation restoration models. We open source all these
resources with a mission that this will inspire the speech community to develop
speech first applications using our ASR models in Indic languages.
