Training model for additional data using checkpoint

Hi Team, first of all thanks for this awesome model.

I am following this tutorial “TUTORIAL : How I trained a specific french model to control my robot” in order to train a pretrained model from checkpoint(https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/releases - deepspeech-0.4.1-checkpoint.tar.gz) with additional english data. I have placed the checkpoint files in “–checkpoint_dir”.

When I execute the command given in the tutorial, I get the following:
Preprocessing done
Computing acoustic model predictions…
8% (1 of 12) |########## | Elapsed Time: 0:01:23 ETA: 0:15:17

Does this mean the model continues to train from the checkpoint for the new data.?

Thanks in advance.
