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 module, and deployment. Besides, this toolkit also features at:
- **Fast and Light-weight**: we provide a high-speed and ultra-lightweight model that is convenient for industrial deployment.
- **Rule-based Chinese frontend**: we utilize plenty of Chinese datasets and corpora to enhance user experience, including CSMSC and Baidu Internal Corpus.
- **Rule-based Chinese frontend**: our frontend contains Text Normalization (TN) 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 Research**:
- *Integration of mainstream models and datasets*: the toolkit implements modules that participate in the whole pipeline of both ASR and TTS, and uses datasets like LibriSpeech, LJSpeech, AIShell, etc. See also [model lists](#models-list) for more details.
- *Support of ASR streaming and non-streaming data*: This toolkit contains non-streaming/streaming models like [DeepSpeech2](http://proceedings.mlr.press/v48/amodei16.pdf), [Transformer](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762), [Conformer](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.08100) and [U2](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.05481.pdf).
