We share neural Net together.
The main motivation of WeNet is to close the gap between research and production end-to-end (E2E) speech recognition models, to reduce the effort of productionizing E2E models, and to explore better E2E models for production.
-
Production first and production ready: The core design principle of WeNet. WeNet provides full stack solutions for speech recognition.
- Unified solution for streaming and non-streaming ASR: U2 framework--develop, train, and deploy only once.
- Runtime solution: built-in server x86 and on-device android runtime solution.
- Model exporting solution: built-in solution to export model to LibTorch/ONNX for inference.
- LM solution: built-in production-level LM solution.
- Other production solutions: built-in contextual biasing, time stamp, endpoint, and n-best solutions.
-
Accurate: WeNet achieves SOTA results on a lot of public speech datasets.
-
Light weight: WeNet is easy to install, easy to use, well designed, and well documented.
Please see examples/$dataset/s0/README.md
for benchmark on different speech datasets.
- Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/wenet-e2e/wenet.git
- Install Conda: please see https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html
- Create Conda env:
conda create -n wenet python=3.8
conda activate wenet
pip install -r requirements.txt
conda install pytorch=1.10.0 torchvision torchaudio=0.10.0 cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch -c conda-forge
- Optionally, if you want to use x86 runtime or language model(LM), you have to build the runtime as follows. Otherwise, you can just ignore this step.
# runtime build requires cmake 3.14 or above
cd runtime/server/x86
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build .

- We borrowed a lot of code from ESPnet for transformer based modeling.
- We borrowed a lot of code from Kaldi for WFST based decoding for LM integration.
- We referred EESEN for building TLG based graph for LM integration.
- We referred to OpenTransformer for python batch inference of e2e models.
