DeepAsr is an open-source & Keras (Tensorflow) implementation of end-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) engine and it supports multiple Speech Recognition architectures.
Supported Asr Architectures:
- Baidu's Deep Speech 2
- DeepAsrNetwork1
Using DeepAsr you can:
- perform speech-to-text using pre-trained models
- tune pre-trained models to your needs
- create new models on your own
DeepAsr key features:
- Multi GPU support: You can do much more like distribute the training using the Strategy, or experiment with mixed precision policy.
- CuDNN support: Model using CuDNNLSTM implementation by NVIDIA Developers. CPU devices is also supported.
- DataGenerator: The feature extraction during model training for large the data.
You can use pip:
pip install deepasrThe speech recognition is a tough task. You don't need to know all details to use one of the pretrained models. However it's worth to understand conceptional crucial components:
- Input: Audio files (WAV or FLAC) with mono 16-bit 16 kHz (up to 5 seconds)
- FeaturesExtractor: Convert audio files using MFCC Features or Spectrogram
- Model: CTC model defined in Keras (references: [1], [2])
- Decoder: Greedy or BeamSearch algorithms with the language model support decode a sequence of probabilities using Alphabet
- DataGenerator: Stream data to the model via generator
- Callbacks: Set of functions monitoring the training
