Oh, I found the following previous discussion from the forum. Sorry for missing this one.

> Hello, I implemented [wav2vec2.0 code](https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-xlsr-wav2vec2) and a language model is not used for decoding. How can I add a language model (let’s say a language model which is trained with KenLM) for decoding @patrickvonplaten ? thanks in advance. Note: I also opened an [issue](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/10716), but redirected here.

so i will check them out first. Thanks.
