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 has been accepted by the ASRU 2023 challenge special session. The registration is now open. 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).

Highlights

• FunASR is a fundamental speech recognition toolkit that offers a variety of features, including speech recognition (ASR), Voice Activity Detection (VAD), Punctuation Restoration, Language Models, Speaker Verification, Speaker diarization and multi-talker ASR.
• We have released a vast collection of academic and industrial pretrained models on the ModelScope, which can be accessed through our Model Zoo. The representative Paraformer-large model has achieved SOTA performance in many speech recognition tasks.
• FunASR offers a user-friendly pipeline for fine-tuning pretrained models from the ModelScope. Additionally, the optimized dataloader in FunASR enables faster training speeds for large-scale datasets. This feature enhances the efficiency of the speech recognition process for researchers and practitioners.

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
