+    <https://github.com/gangliao/warp-ctc>`_ repository, which is forked from

+    To use warp_ctc layer, you need to specify the path of :code:`libwarpctc.so`,
+    using following methods:
+
+    1. Set it in :code:`paddle.init` (python api) or :code:`paddle_init` (c api),
+    such as :code:`paddle.init(use_gpu=True,
+    warpctc_dir=your_paddle_source_dir/third_party/install/warpctc/lib)`.
+
+    2. Set environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux or DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
+    on Mac OS. For instance, :code:`export
+    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=your_paddle_source_dir/third_party/install/warpctc/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.
 
     More details of CTC can be found by referring to `Connectionist Temporal

     Note:
         - Let num_classes represent the category number. Considering the 'blank'
-          label needed by CTC, you need to use (num_classes + 1) as the input
-          size. Thus, the size of both warp_ctc_layer and 'input' layer should
-          be set to num_classes + 1.

         - You can set 'blank' to any value ranged in [0, num_classes], which
           should be consistent as that used in your labels.
