For more synthesized audios, please refer to [PaddleSpeech Text-to-Speech samples](https://paddlespeech.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tts/demo.html). 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: - **Fast and Light-weight**: we provide high-speed and ultra-lightweight models that are convenient for industrial deployment. - **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 Speech Translation, Automatic Speech Recognition, Text-to-Speech Synthesis, Voice Cloning, 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 application of traditional audio tasks, we combine the workflows of aforementioned tasks with other fields like Natural language processing (NLP), like Punctuation Restoration. ## Installation The base environment in this page is - Ubuntu 16.04 - python>=3.7 - paddlepaddle>=2.2.0 If you want to set up PaddleSpeech in other environment, please see the [installation](./docs/source/install.md) documents for all the alternatives. ## Quick Start Developers can have a try of our models with [PaddleSpeech Command Line](./paddlespeech/cli/README.md). Change `--input` to test your own audio/text file. **Audio Classification** ```shell paddlespeech cls --input ./test_audio.wav ``` **Automatic Speech Recognition** ```shell paddlespeech asr --lang zh --sr 16000 --input ./input.wav ``` **Speech Translation** (English to Chinese) ```shell paddlespeech st --input ./test_audio.wav ``` **Text-to-Speech** ```shell paddlespeech tts --lang zh --input ./test_text.txt ``` If you want to try more functions like training and tuning, please see [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, summarized in [released models](./docs/source/released_model.md) with available pretrained models.

## Tutorials Normally, [Speech SoTA](https://paperswithcode.com/area/speech), [Audio SoTA](https://paperswithcode.com/area/audio) and [Music SoTA](https://paperswithcode.com/area/music) 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. - [Overview](./docs/source/introduction.md) - Quick Start - [Dependencies](./docs/source/dependencies.md) and [Installation](./docs/source/install.md) - [Quick Start of Speech-to-Text](./docs/source/asr/quick_start.md) - [Quick Start of Text-to-Speech](./docs/source/tts/quick_start.md) - Speech-to-Text - [Models Introduction](./docs/source/asr/models_introduction.md) - [Data Preparation](./docs/source/asr/data_preparation.md) - [Data Augmentation Pipeline](./docs/source/asr/augmentation.md) - [Features](./docs/source/asr/feature_list.md) - [Ngram LM](./docs/source/asr/ngram_lm.md) - Text-to-Speech - [Introduction](./docs/source/tts/models_introduction.md) - [Advanced Usage](./docs/source/tts/advanced_usage.md) - [Chinese Rule Based Text Frontend](./docs/source/tts/zh_text_frontend.md) - [Test Audio Samples](https://paddlespeech.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tts/demo.html) and [PaddleSpeech VS. Espnet](https://paddlespeech.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tts/demo_2.html) - [Released Models](./docs/source/released_model.md) The TTS module is originally called [Parakeet](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Parakeet), and now merged with DeepSpeech. If you are interested in academic research about this function, please see [TTS research overview](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSpeech/tree/develop/docs/source/tts#overview).
