ASRP: Automatic Speech Recognition Preprocessing Utility

ASRP is a python package that offers a set of tools to preprocess and evaluate ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) text. The package also provides a speech-to-text transcription tool and a text-to-speech conversion tool. The code is open-source and can be installed using pip.

Key Features

• Preprocess ASR text with ease
• Evaluate ASR output quality
• Transcribe speech to Hubert code
• Convert unit code to speech
• Enhance speech quality with a noise reduction tool
• LiveASR tool for real-time speech recognition
• Speaker Embedding Extraction (x-vector/d-vector)

install

pip install asrp

Preprocess

ASRP offers an easy-to-use set of functions to preprocess ASR text data.
The input data is a dictionary with the key 'sentence', and the output is the preprocessed text.
You can either use the fun_en function or use dynamic loading. Here's how to use it:

import asrp

batch_data = {
    'sentence': "I'm fine, thanks."
}
asrp.fun_en(batch_data)

dynamic loading

import asrp

batch_data = {
    'sentence': "I'm fine, thanks."
}
preprocessor = getattr(asrp, 'fun_en')
preprocessor(batch_data)

Evaluation

ASRP provides functions to evaluate the output quality of ASR systems using
the Word Error Rate (WER) and Character Error Rate (CER) metrics.
Here's how to use it:

import asrp

targets = ['HuggingFace is great!', 'Love Transformers!', 'Let\'s wav2vec!']
preds = ['HuggingFace is awesome!', 'Transformers is powerful.', 'Let\'s finetune wav2vec!']
print("chunk size WER: {:2f}".format(100 * asrp.chunked_wer(targets, preds, chunk_size=None)))
print("chunk size CER: {:2f}".format(100 * asrp.chunked_cer(targets, preds, chunk_size=None)))

Speech Enhancement

ASRP also provides a tool to enhance speech quality with a noise reduction tool.
