PaddleSpeech

What is PaddleSpeech?

PaddleSpeech is an open-source toolkit on PaddlePaddle platform for two critical tasks in Speech - Speech-to-Text (Automatic Speech Recognition, ASR) and Text-to-Speech Synthesis (TTS), with modules involving state-of-art and influential models.

What can PaddleSpeech do?

Speech-to-Text

PaddleSpeech ASR mainly consists of components below:

• Implementation of models and commonly used neural network layers.
• Dataset abstraction and common data preprocessing pipelines.
• Ready-to-run experiments.

PaddleSpeech ASR provides you with a complete ASR pipeline, including:

• Data Preparation
  • Build vocabulary
  • Compute Cepstral mean and variance normalization (CMVN)
  • Featrue extraction
    • linear
    • fbank (also support kaldi feature)
    • mfcc
• Acoustic Models
  • Deepspeech2 (Streaming and Non-Streaming)
  • Transformer (Streaming and Non-Streaming)
  • Conformer (Streaming and Non-Streaming)
• Decoder
  • ctc greedy search (used in DeepSpeech2, Transformer and Conformer)
  • ctc beam search (used in DeepSpeech2, Transformer and Conformer)
  • attention decoding (used in Transformer and Conformer)
  • attention rescoring (used in Transformer and Conformer)

Speech-to-Text helps you training the ASR model very simply.

Text-to-Speech

TTS mainly consists of components below:

• Implementation of models and commonly used neural network layers.
• Dataset abstraction and common data preprocessing pipelines.
• Ready-to-run experiments.

PaddleSpeech TTS provides you with a complete TTS pipeline, including:

• Text FrontEnd
  • Rule based Chinese frontend.
• Acoustic Models
  • FastSpeech2
  • SpeedySpeech
  • TransformerTTS
  • Tacotron2
• Vocoders
  • Multi Band MelGAN
  • Parallel WaveGAN
  • WaveFlow
• Voice Cloning
  • Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-to-Speech Synthesis
  • GE2E

Text-to-Speech helps you to train TTS models with simple commands.
