FunASR: A Fundamental End-to-End Speech Recognition Toolkit

FunASR hopes to build a bridge between academic research and industrial applications on speech recognition. By supporting the training & finetuning of the industrial-grade speech recognition model, researchers and developers can conduct research and production of speech recognition models more conveniently, and promote the development of speech recognition ecology. ASR for Fun！

Highlights

FunASR is a fundamental speech recognition toolkit that offers a variety of features, including speech recognition (ASR), Voice Activity Detection (VAD), Punctuation Restoration, Language Models, Speaker Verification, Speaker Diarization and multi-talker ASR. FunASR provides convenient scripts and tutorials, supporting inference and fine-tuning of pre-trained models.
We have released a vast collection of academic and industrial pretrained models on the ModelScope and huggingface, which can be accessed through our Model Zoo. The representative Paraformer-large, a non-autoregressive end-to-end speech recognition model, has the advantages of high accuracy, high efficiency, and convenient deployment, supporting the rapid construction of speech recognition services. For more details on service deployment, please refer to the service deployment document.

Quick Start

Below is a quick start tutorial. Test audio files (Mandarin, English).

Command-line usage

funasr +model=paraformer-zh +vad_model="fsmn-vad" +punc_model="ct-punc" +input=asr_example_zh.wav

Notes: Support recognition of single audio file, as well as file list in Kaldi-style wav.scp format: wav_id wav_pat

Speech Recognition (Non-streaming)

from funasr import AutoModel
# paraformer-zh is a multi-functional asr model
# use vad, punc, spk or not as you need
model = AutoModel(model="paraformer-zh", model_revision="v2.0.4",
                  vad_model="fsmn-vad", vad_model_revision="v2.0.4",
                  punc_model="ct-punc-c", punc_model_revision="v2.0.4",
                  # spk_model="cam++", spk_model_revision="v2.0.2",
                  )
res = model.generate(input=f"{model.model_path}/example/asr_example.wav", 
                     batch_size_s=300, 
                     hotword='魔搭')
print(res)

Note: model_hub: represents the model repository, ms stands for selecting ModelScope download, hf stands for selecting Huggingface download.

Speech Recognition (Streaming)

from funasr import AutoModel

chunk_size = [0, 10, 5] #[0, 10, 5] 600ms, [0, 8, 4] 480ms
encoder_chunk_look_back = 4 #number of chunks to lookback for encoder self-attention
decoder_chunk_look_back = 1 #number of encoder chunks to lookback for decoder cross-attention

model = AutoModel(model="paraformer-zh-streaming", model_revision="v2.0.4")

import soundfile
import os

wav_file = os.path.join(model.model_path, "example/asr_example.wav")
speech, sample_rate = soundfile.read(wav_file)
chunk_stride = chunk_size[1] * 960 # 600ms

cache = {}
total_chunk_num = int(len((speech)-1)/chunk_stride+1)
for i in range(total_chunk_num):
    speech_chunk = speech[i*chunk_stride:(i+1)*chunk_stride]
    is_final = i == total_chunk_num - 1
    res = model.generate(input=speech_chunk, cache=cache, is_final=is_final, chunk_size=chunk_size, encoder_chunk_look_back=encoder_chunk_look_back, decoder_chunk_look_back=decoder_chunk_look_back)
    print(res)

Note: chunk_size is the configuration for streaming latency. [0,10,5] indicates that the real-time display granularity is 10*60=600ms, and the lookahead information is 5*60=300ms. Each inference input is 600ms (sample points are 16000*0.6=960), and the output is the corresponding text. For the last speech segment input, is_final=True needs to be set to force the output of the last word.

Voice Activity Detection (Non-Streaming)

from funasr import AutoModel

model = AutoModel(model="fsmn-vad", model_revision="v2.0.4")
wav_file = f"{model.model_path}/example/asr_example.wav"
res = model.generate(input=wav_file)
print(res)

Voice Activity Detection (Streaming)

from funasr import AutoModel

chunk_size = 200 # ms
model = AutoModel(model="fsmn-vad", model_revision="v2.0.4")

import soundfile

wav_file = f"{model.model_path}/example/vad_example.wav"
speech, sample_rate = soundfile.read(wav_file)
chunk_stride = int(chunk_size * sample_rate / 1000)

cache = {}
total_chunk_num = int(len((speech)-1)/chunk_stride+1)
for i in range(total_chunk_num):
    speech_chunk = speech[i*chunk_stride:(i+1)*chunk_stride]
    is_final = i == total_chunk_num - 1
    res = model.generate(input=speech_chunk, cache=cache, is_final=is_final, chunk_size=chunk_size)
    if len(res[0]["value"]):
        print(res)

Punctuation Restoration

from funasr import AutoModel

model = AutoModel(model="ct-punc", model_revision="v2.0.4")
res = model.generate(input="那今天的会就到这里吧 happy new year 明年见")
print(res)

Timestamp Prediction

from funasr import AutoModel

model = AutoModel(model="fa-zh", model_revision="v2.0.4")
wav_file = f"{model.model_path}/example/asr_example.wav"
text_file = f"{model.model_path}/example/text.txt"
res = model.generate(input=(wav_file, text_file), data_type=("sound", "text"))
print(res)
