Researchers have developed a novel data augmentation pipeline to improve Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for low-resource languages and specialized domains. This method synthesizes realistic dialogues using Large Language Models (LLMs) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, creating speaker-aware simulated conversations. Evaluations on a Hungarian benchmark demonstrated that this synthetic data significantly boosts ASR performance, even outperforming models trained on substantially larger amounts of real speech data.
