Install SpeechBrain

First of all, please install SpeechBrain with the following command:

pip install speechbrain

Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about SpeechBrain.

Pretrained Usage

To use the mimic-loss-trained model for enhancement, use the following simple code:

import torch
import torchaudio
from speechbrain.inference.enhancement import SpectralMaskEnhancement

enhance_model = SpectralMaskEnhancement.from_hparams(
    source="speechbrain/metricgan-plus-voicebank",
    savedir="pretrained_models/metricgan-plus-voicebank",
)

# Load and add fake batch dimension
noisy = enhance_model.load_audio(
    "speechbrain/metricgan-plus-voicebank/example.wav"
).unsqueeze(0)

# Add relative length tensor
enhanced = enhance_model.enhance_batch(noisy, lengths=torch.tensor([1.]))

# Saving enhanced signal on disk
torchaudio.save('enhanced.wav', enhanced.cpu(), 16000)

The system is trained with recordings sampled at 16kHz (single channel). The code will automatically normalize your audio (i.e., resampling + mono channel selection) when calling enhance_file if needed. Make sure your input tensor is compliant with the expected sampling rate if you use enhance_batch as in the example.

Inference on GPU

To perform inference on the GPU, add run_opts={"device":"cuda"} when calling the from_hparams method.

Training

The model was trained with SpeechBrain (d0accc8). To train it from scratch follows these steps:

Clone SpeechBrain:

git clone https://github.com/speechbrain/speechbrain/

Install it:

cd speechbrain
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

Run Training:

cd  recipes/Voicebank/enhance/MetricGAN
python train.py hparams/train.yaml --data_folder=your_data_folder

You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) here.

Limitations

The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
