FunASR

FunASR: A Fundamental End-to-End Speech Recognition Toolkit

FunASR hopes to build a bridge between academic research and industrial applications on speech recognition. By supporting the training & finetuning of the industrial-grade speech recognition model released on ModelScope, researchers and developers can conduct research and production of speech recognition models more conveniently, and promote the development of speech recognition ecology. ASR for Fun！

Multi-Channel Multi-Party Meeting Transcription 2.0 (M2MET2.0) Challenge

We are pleased to announce that the M2MeT2.0 challenge will be held in the near future. The baseline system is conducted on FunASR and is provided as a receipe of AliMeeting corpus. For more details you can see the guidence of M2MET2.0 (CN/EN).

Release notes

For the release notes, please ref to news

Highlights

• FunASR supports speech recognition(ASR), Multi-talker ASR, Voice Activity Detection(VAD), Punctuation Restoration, Language Models, Speaker Verification and Speaker diarization.
  
• We have released large number of academic and industrial pretrained models on ModelScope
• The pretrained model Paraformer-large obtains the best performance on many tasks in SpeechIO leaderboard
• FunASR supplies a easy-to-use pipeline to finetune pretrained models from ModelScope
• Compared to Espnet framework, the training speed of large-scale datasets in FunASR is much faster owning to the optimized dataloader.

Installation

Install from pip

pip install -U funasr
# For the users in China, you could install with the command:
# pip install -U funasr -i https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/pypi/web/simple

Or install from source code

git clone https://github.com/alibaba/FunASR.git && cd FunASR
pip install -e ./
# For the users in China, you could install with the command:
# pip install -e ./ -i https://mirror.sjtu.edu.cn/pypi/web/simple

If you want to use the pretrained models in ModelScope, you should install the modelscope:

pip install -U modelscope
# For the users in China, you could install with the command:
