contents This paper describes AraS2P, our speech-to-phonemes system submitted to the Iqra'Eval 2025 Shared Task. We adapted Wav2Vec2-BERT via Two-Stage training strategy. In the first stage, task-adaptive continue pretraining was performed on large-scale Arabic speech-phonemes datasets, which were generated by converting the Arabic text using the MSA Phonetiser. In the second stage, the model was fine-tuned on the official shared task data, with additional augmentation from XTTS-v2-synthesized recitations featuring varied Ayat segments, speaker embeddings, and textual perturbations to simulate possible human errors. The system ranked first on the official leaderboard, demonstrating that phoneme-aware pretraining combined with targeted augmentation yields strong performance in phoneme-level mispronunciation detection.
