+# FunASR document generation
+
+## Generate HTML
+For convenience, we provide users with the ability to generate local HTML manually.
+
+First, you should install the following packages, which is required for building HTML:
+```sh
+conda activate funasr
+pip install requests sphinx nbsphinx sphinx_markdown_tables sphinx_rtd_theme recommonmark
+```
+
+Then you can generate HTML manually.
+
+```sh
+cd FunASR/docs
+make html
+```
+
+The generated files are all contained in the "FunASR/docs/_build" directory. You can access the FunASR documentation by simply opening the "html/index.html" file in your browser from this directory.~~
