Resources and Documentation
---------------------------

Hands-on speech recognition tutorial notebooks can be found under `the ASR tutorials folder <https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo/tree/v1.0.2/tutorials/asr/>`_.
If you are a beginner to NeMo, consider trying out the `ASR with NeMo <https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo/tree/v1.0.2/tutorials/asr/ASR_with_NeMo.ipynb>`_ tutorial.
This and most other tutorials can be run on Google Colab by specifying the link to the notebooks' GitHub pages on Colab.

If you are looking for information about a particular ASR model, or would like to find out more about the model
architectures available in the `nemo_asr` collection, refer to the :doc:`Models <./models>` section.

NeMo includes preprocessing scripts for several common ASR datasets. The :doc:`Datasets <./datasets>` section contains instructions on
running those scripts. It also includes guidance for creating your own NeMo-compatible dataset, if you have your own data.

Information about how to load model checkpoints (either local files or pretrained ones from NGC), as well as a list of the checkpoints
available on NGC are located on the :doc:`Checkpoints <./results>` section.

Documentation regarding the configuration files specific to the ``nemo_asr`` models can be found on the :doc:`Configuration Files <./configs>` section.
