![Model size](https://img.shields.io/badge/Params-315M-lightgrey)
![Language](https://img.shields.io/badge/Language-French-lightgrey)

This model is a fine-tuned version of [LeBenchmark/wav2vec2-FR-7K-large](https://huggingface.co/LeBenchmark/wav2vec2-FR-7K-large), trained on a composite dataset comprising of over 2200 hours of French speech audio, using the train and validation splits of [Common Voice 11.0](https://huggingface.co/datasets/mozilla-foundation/common_voice_11_0), [Multilingual LibriSpeech](https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/multilingual_librispeech), [Voxpopuli](https://github.com/facebookresearch/voxpopuli), [Multilingual TEDx](http://www.openslr.org/100), [MediaSpeech](https://www.openslr.org/108), and [African Accented French](https://huggingface.co/datasets/gigant/african_accented_french). When using the model make sure that your speech input is also sampled at 16Khz.

## Usage

1. To use on a local audio file with the language model

```python
import torch
import torchaudio

from transformers import AutoModelForCTC, Wav2Vec2ProcessorWithLM

device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

model = AutoModelForCTC.from_pretrained("bhuang/asr-wav2vec2-french").to(device)
processor_with_lm = Wav2Vec2ProcessorWithLM.from_pretrained("bhuang/asr-wav2vec2-french")
model_sample_rate = processor_with_lm.feature_extractor.sampling_rate

wav_path = "example.wav"  # path to your audio file
waveform, sample_rate = torchaudio.load(wav_path)
waveform = waveform.squeeze(axis=0)  # mono

# resample
if sample_rate != model_sample_rate:
    resampler = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(sample_rate, model_sample_rate)
    waveform = resampler(waveform)

# normalize
input_dict = processor_with_lm(waveform, sampling_rate=model_sample_rate, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.inference_mode():
    logits = model(input_dict.input_values.to(device)).logits

predicted_sentence = processor_with_lm.batch_decode(logits.cpu().numpy()).text[0]
```

2. To use on a local audio file without the language model

```python
import torch
import torchaudio

from transformers import AutoModelForCTC, Wav2Vec2Processor

device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

model = AutoModelForCTC.from_pretrained("bhuang/asr-wav2vec2-french").to(device)
processor = Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained("bhuang/asr-wav2vec2-french")
model_sample_rate = processor.feature_extractor.sampling_rate

wav_path = "example.wav"  # path to your audio file
waveform, sample_rate = torchaudio.load(wav_path)
waveform = waveform.squeeze(axis=0)  # mono

# resample
if sample_rate != model_sample_rate:
    resampler = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(sample_rate, model_sample_rate)
    waveform = resampler(waveform)

# normalize
input_dict = processor(waveform, sampling_rate=model_sample_rate, return_tensors="pt")

with torch.inference_mode():
    logits = model(input_dict.input_values.to(device)).logits

# decode
predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
predicted_sentence = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)[0]
```
