  # 🌟 New model addition
  Simultaneous Speech-to-text Translation using Monotonic Multihead Attention(MMA).
  I am wondering if anybody is working on implementing this model for now.
  However, I am worried that if this model is going to be supported by Hugging Face systems, since inference works in a particular way using frameworks like [SimulEval](https://github.com/facebookresearch/SimulEval) to simulate streaming input which may not be compatible with current Hugging Face's inference system?
  
  ## Model description
  [MMA(Ma et al., 2019)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.12406) has been used to handle streaming text/speech inputs mostly for translation, where MMA extends the monotonic attention mechanism to multihead.
