**PaddleSpeech** is an open-source toolkit on [PaddlePaddle](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle) platform for a variety of critical tasks in speech, with the state-of-art and influential models.

For more synthesized audios, please refer to [PaddleSpeech Text-To-Speech samples](https://paddlespeech.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tts/demo.html).

Via the easy-to-use, efficient, flexible and scalable implementation, our vision is to empower both industrial application and academic research, including training, inference & testing modules, and deployment process. To be more specific, this toolkit features at:
- **Fast and Light-weight**: we provide high-speed and ultra-lightweight models that are convenient for industrial deployment.
- **Rule-based Chinese frontend**: our frontend contains Text Normalization and Grapheme-to-Phoneme (G2P, including Polyphone and Tone Sandhi). Moreover, we use self-defined linguistic rules to adapt Chinese context.
- **Varieties of Functions that Vitalize both Industrial and Academia**:
  - *Implementation of critical audio tasks*: this toolkit contains audio functions like Speech Translation, Automatic Speech Recognition, Text-To-Speech Synthesis, Voice Cloning, etc.
  - *Integration of mainstream models and datasets*: the toolkit implements modules that participate in the whole pipeline of the speech tasks, and uses mainstream datasets like LibriSpeech, LJSpeech, AIShell, CSMSC, etc. See also [model lists](#models-list) for more details.
  - *Cascaded models application*: as an extension of the application of traditional audio tasks, we combine the workflows of aforementioned tasks with other fields like Natural language processing (NLP), like Punctuation Restoration.

# Alternative Installation

The base environment in this page is  
- Ubuntu 16.04
- python>=3.7
- paddlepaddle>=2.2.0-rc

If you want to set up PaddleSpeech in other environment, please see the [installation](./docs/source/install.md) documents for all the alternatives.

# Quick Start

Developers can have a try of our model with only a few lines of code.

A tiny DeepSpeech2 **Speech-To-Text** model training on toy set of LibriSpeech:

```shell
cd examples/tiny/s0/
# source the environment
source path.sh
source ../../../utils/parse_options.sh
# prepare data
bash ./local/data.sh
# train model, all `ckpt` under `exp` dir, if you use paddlepaddle-gpu, you can set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES before the train script
./local/train.sh conf/deepspeech2.yaml deepspeech2 offline
# avg n best model to get the test model, in this case, n = 1
avg.sh best exp/deepspeech2/checkpoints 1
# evaluate the test model
./local/test.sh conf/deepspeech2.yaml exp/deepspeech2/checkpoints/avg_1 offline
```

For **Text-To-Speech**, try pretrained FastSpeech2 + Parallel WaveGAN on CSMSC:
```shell
cd examples/csmsc/tts3
# download the pretrained models and unaip them
wget https://paddlespeech.bj.bcebos.com/Parakeet/pwg_baker_ckpt_0.4.zip
unzip pwg_baker_ckpt_0.4.zip
wget https://paddlespeech.bj.bcebos.com/Parakeet/fastspeech2_nosil_baker_ckpt_0.4.zip
unzip fastspeech2_nosil_baker_ckpt_0.4.zip
# source the environment
source path.sh
# run end-to-end synthesize
FLAGS_allocator_strategy=naive_best_fit \
FLAGS_fraction_of_gpu_memory_to_use=0.01 \
python3 ${BIN_DIR}/synthesize_e2e.py \
  --fastspeech2-config=fastspeech2_nosil_baker_ckpt_0.4/default.yaml \
  --fastspeech2-checkpoint=fastspeech2_nosil_baker_ckpt_0.4/snapshot_iter_76000.pdz \
  --fastspeech2-stat=fastspeech2_nosil_baker_ckpt_0.4/speech_stats.npy \
  --pwg-config=pwg_baker_ckpt_0.4/pwg_default.yaml \
  --pwg-checkpoint=pwg_baker_ckpt_0.4/pwg_snapshot_iter_400000.pdz \
  --pwg-stat=pwg_baker_ckpt_0.4/pwg_stats.npy \
  --text=${BIN_DIR}/../sentences.txt \
  --output-dir=exp/default/test_e2e \
  --inference-dir=exp/default/inference \
  --phones-dict=fastspeech2_nosil_baker_ckpt_0.4/phone_id_map.txt
```

If you want to try more functions like training and tuning, please see [Speech-To-Text Quick Start](./docs/source/asr/quick_start.md) and [Text-To-Speech Quick Start](./docs/source/tts/quick_start.md).

# Models List

PaddleSpeech supports a series of most popular models, summarized in [released models](./docs/source/released_models.md) with available pretrained models.

Speech-To-Text module contains *Acoustic Model* and *Language Model*, with the following details:

The TTS module is originally called [Parakeet](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Parakeet), and now merged with DeepSpeech. If you are interested in academic research about this function, please see [TTS research overview](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSpeech/tree/develop/docs/source/tts#overview). Also, [this document](https://paddleparakeet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/released_models.html) is a good guideline for the pipeline components.
