Features

Via the easy-to-use, efficient, flexible and scalable implementation, our vision is to empower both industrial application and academic research, including training, inference & testing modules, and deployment process. To be more specific, this toolkit features at:

  • 📦 Ease of Use: low barriers to install, CLI, Server, and Streaming Server is available to quick-start your journey.
  • 🏆 Align to the State-of-the-Art: we provide high-speed and ultra-lightweight models, and also cutting-edge technology.
  • 🏆 Streaming ASR and TTS System: we provide production ready streaming asr and streaming tts system.
  • 💯 Rule-based Chinese frontend: our frontend contains Text Normalization and Grapheme-to-Phoneme (G2P, including Polyphone and Tone Sandhi). Moreover, we use self-defined linguistic rules to adapt Chinese context.
  • 📦 Varieties of Functions that Vitalize both Industrial and Academia:
    • 🛎️ Implementation of critical audio tasks: this toolkit contains audio functions like Automatic Speech Recognition, Text-to-Speech Synthesis, Speaker Verfication, KeyWord Spotting, Audio Classification, and Speech Translation, etc.
    • 🔬 Integration of mainstream models and datasets: the toolkit implements modules that participate in the whole pipeline of the speech tasks, and uses mainstream datasets like LibriSpeech, LJSpeech, AIShell, CSMSC, etc. See also model list for more details.
    • 🧩 Cascaded models application: as an extension of the typical traditional audio tasks, we combine the workflows of the aforementioned tasks with other fields like Natural language processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV).

Documents

Normally, Speech SoTA, Audio SoTA and Music SoTA give you an overview of the hot academic topics in the related area. To focus on the tasks in PaddleSpeech, you will find the following guidelines are helpful to grasp the core ideas.

The Text-to-Speech module is originally called Parakeet, and now merged with this repository. If you are interested in academic research about this task, please see TTS research overview. Also, this document is a good guideline for the pipeline components.

⭐ Examples

  • PaddleBoBo: Use PaddleSpeech TTS to generate virtual human voice.
