# Transducer trained on CommonVoice 14.0 Italian (No LM)
This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform automatic speech
recognition from an end-to-end system within
SpeechBrain. For a better experience, we encourage you to learn more about
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io). 
The performance of the model is the following:

| Release | Test CER | Test WER | GPUs |
|:-------------:|:--------------:|:--------------:| :--------:|
| 15.08.23 | 5.11 | 14.88 | 1xV100 32GB |

## Credits
The model is provided by [vitas.ai](https://www.vitas.ai/).

## Pipeline description
This ASR system is composed of 2 different but linked blocks:

- Tokenizer (unigram) that transforms words into subword units and trained with
the train transcriptions (train.tsv) of CommonVoice (en).
- Transducers augment CTC by adding an autoregressive predictor and a join network.

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 *transcribe_file* if needed.

## 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](https://speechbrain.github.io).

### Transcribing your own audio files (in Italian)

```python
from speechbrain.inference.ASR import EncoderDecoderASR
asr_model = EncoderDecoderASR.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/asr-transducer-commonvoice-14-it", savedir="pretrained_models/asr-transducer-commonvoice-14-it")
asr_model.transcribe_file("speechbrain/asr-transducer-commonvoice-14-it/example-it.wav")
```

### Inference on GPU

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

## Parallel Inference on a Batch

Please, [see this Colab notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1hX5ZI9S4jHIjahFCZnhwwQmFoGAi3tmu?usp=sharing) to figure out how to transcribe in parallel a batch of input sentences using a pre-trained model.

### Training

The model was trained with SpeechBrain (986a2175).
To train it from scratch follows these steps:

1. Clone SpeechBrain:

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

2. Install it:

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

3. Run Training:

```
cd recipes/CommonVoice/ASR/transducer
python train.py hparams/train_it.yaml --data_folder=your_data_folder
```

You can find our training results (models, logs, etc) [here](https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ksm08x0wwiomrgs/AABnjPePWGPxqIqW7bJHp1jea?dl=0)

### Limitations

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