ESPnet: end-to-end speech processing toolkit

ESPnet is an end-to-end speech processing toolkit covering end-to-end speech recognition, text-to-speech, speech translation, speech enhancement, speaker diarization, spoken language understanding, and so on. ESPnet uses pytorch as a deep learning engine and also follows Kaldi style data processing, feature extraction/format, and recipes to provide a complete setup for various speech processing experiments.
