### 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, and [CLI](#quick-start) 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.
- 💯 **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 Audio Classification, Speech Translation, Automatic Speech Recognition, Text-to-Speech Synthesis, 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](#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).
### Recent Update:
- 🤗 2021.12.14: Our PaddleSpeech [ASR](https://huggingface.co/spaces/KPatrick/PaddleSpeechASR) and [TTS](https://huggingface.co/spaces/akhaliq/paddlespeech) Demos on Hugging Face Spaces are available!
- 👏🏻 2021.12.10: PaddleSpeech CLI is available for Audio Classification, Automatic Speech Recognition, Speech Translation (English to Chinese) and Text-to-Speech.

## Installation
We strongly recommend our users to install PaddleSpeech in **Linux** with *python>=3.7*, where `paddlespeech` can be easily installed with `pip`:
```python
pip install paddlepaddle paddlespeech
```
Up to now, **Linux** supports CLI for the all our tasks, **Mac OSX and Windows** only supports PaddleSpeech CLI for Audio Classification, Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech. Please see [installation](./docs/source/install.md) for other alternatives.
## Quick Start
Developers can have a try of our models with [PaddleSpeech Command Line](./demos/README.md). Change `--input` to test your own audio/text.
**Audio Classification**
```shell
paddlespeech cls --input input.wav
```
**Automatic Speech Recognition**
```shell
paddlespeech asr --lang zh --input input_16k.wav
```
**Speech Translation** (English to Chinese)
(not support for Mac and Windows now)
```shell
paddlespeech st --input input_16k.wav
```
**Text-to-Speech**
```shell
paddlespeech tts --input "你好,欢迎使用飞桨深度学习框架!" --output output.wav
```
- web demo for Text to Speech is integrated to [Huggingface Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces) with [Gradio](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio). See Demo: [TTS Demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/akhaliq/paddlespeech)
If you want to try more functions like training and tuning, please have a look at [Speech-to-Text Quick Start](./docs/source/asr/quick_start.md) and [Text-to-Speech Quick Start](./docs/source/tts/quick_start.md).
## Model List
PaddleSpeech supports a series of most popular models. They are summarized in [released models](./docs/source/released_model.md) and attached with available pretrained models.
**Speech-to-Text** contains *Acoustic Model*, *Language Model*, and *Speech Translation*, with the following details:
**Text-to-Speech** in PaddleSpeech mainly contains three modules: *Text Frontend*, *Acoustic Model* and *Vocoder*. Acoustic Model and Vocoder models are listed as follow:

The Text-to-Speech module is originally called [Parakeet](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Parakeet), and now merged with this repository. If you are interested in academic research about this task, please see [TTS research overview](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSpeech/tree/develop/docs/source/tts#overview). Also, [this document](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSpeech/blob/develop/docs/source/tts/models_introduction.md) is a good guideline for the pipeline components.
