-**PaddleSpeech** is an open-source toolkit on [PaddlePaddle](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle) platform for two critical tasks in Speech - **Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)** and **Text-To-Speech Synthesis (TTS)**, with modules involving state-of-art and influential models.
+**PaddleSpeech** is an open-source toolkit on [PaddlePaddle](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle) platform for a variety of critical tasks in speech, with state-of-art and influential models.
-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:

+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 (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).
+- **Varieties of Functions that Vitalize both Industrial and Academia**:
+ - *Implementation of critical audio tasks*: this toolkit contains audio functions like Speech Translation (ST), Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Text-To-Speech Synthesis (TTS), Voice Cloning(VC), Punctuation Restoration, 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.
+ - *Cross-domain application*: as an extension of the application of traditional audio tasks, we combine the aforementioned tasks with other fields like NLP.
Let's install PaddleSpeech with only a few lines of code!
>Note: The official name is still deepspeech. 2021/10/26
-``` shell
-# 1. Install essential libraries and paddlepaddle first.
-# install prerequisites
-sudo apt-get install -y sox pkg-config libflac-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libboost-dev swig python3-dev libsndfile1
-# `pip install paddlepaddle-gpu` instead if you are using GPU.
-pip install paddlepaddle
-
-# 2.Then install PaddleSpeech.
+If you are using Ubuntu, PaddleSpeech can be set up with pip installation (with root privilege).
+```shell
git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/DeepSpeech.git
cd DeepSpeech
pip install -e .
