arXiv:2611.05744v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems often struggle with specialised medical vocabulary, especially in low-resource languages where domain-specific speech data are scarce. We investigate text-only domain adaptation for Hausa medical ASR using the fixed MMS-1B-FL102 acoustic model and two decoding-time language-model fusion methods: Shallow Fusion (SF) and the Density Ratio Approach (DRA). A 4-gram KenLM trained on 19,421 Hausa health sentences serves as the medical target model, while a 75,372-sentence general-domain model provides the so
