# CRDNN with CTC/Attention trained on CommonVoice French (No LM)
This repository provides all the necessary tools to perform automatic speech
recognition from an end-to-end system pretrained on CommonVoice (French Language) within
SpeechBrain. For a better experience, we encourage you to learn more about
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io).
The performance of the model is the following:
| Release | Test CER | Test WER | GPUs |
|:-------------:|:--------------:|:--------------:| :--------:|
| 07-03-21 | 6.54 | 17.70 | 2xV100 16GB |
## Pipeline description
This ASR system is composed of 2 different but linked blocks:
1-Tokenizer (unigram) that transforms words into subword units and trained with
the train transcriptions (train.tsv) of CommonVoice (FR).
2- Acoustic model (CRDNN + CTC/Attention). The CRDNN architecture is made of
N blocks of convolutional neural networks with normalization and pooling on the
frequency domain. Then, a bidirectional LSTM is connected to a final DNN to obtain
the final acoustic representation that is given to the CTC and attention decoders.
## Install SpeechBrain
First of all, please install SpeechBrain with the following command:
```
pip install speechbrain
```
Please notice that we encourage you to read our tutorials and learn more about
[SpeechBrain](https://speechbrain.github.io).
### Transcribing your own audio files (in French)
```python
from speechbrain.pretrained import EncoderDecoderASR
asr_model = EncoderDecoderASR.from_hparams(source="speechbrain/asr-crdnn-commonvoice-fr", savedir="pretrained_models/asr-crdnn-commonvoice-fr")
asr_model.transcribe_file("speechbrain/asr-crdnn-commonvoice-fr/example-fr.wav")
```
### Inference on GPU
To perform inference on the GPU, add `run_opts={"device":"cuda"}` when calling the `from_hparams` method.
### Limitations
The SpeechBrain team does not provide any warranty on the performance achieved by this model when used on other datasets.
