Installation

We strongly recommend our users to install PaddleSpeech in Linux with python>=3.8.

Dependency Introduction

PaddleSpeech depends on paddlepaddle. For installation, please refer to the official website of paddlepaddle and choose according to your own machine. Here is an example of the cpu version.

pip install paddlepaddle -i https://mirror.baidu.com/pypi/simple

You can also specify the version of paddlepaddle or install the develop version. 

# install 2.4.1 version. Note, 2.4.1 is just an example, please follow the minimum dependency of paddlepaddle for your selection
pip install paddlepaddle==2.4.1 -i https://mirror.baidu.com/pypi/simple
# install develop version
pip install paddlepaddle==0.0.0 -f https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/whl/linux/cpu-mkl/develop.html

There are two quick installation methods for PaddleSpeech, one is pip installation, and the other is source code compilation (recommended).

pip install

pip install pytest-runner
pip install paddlespeech

source code compilation

git clone https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleSpeech.git
cd PaddleSpeech
pip install pytest-runner
pip install .
# If you need to install in editable mode, you need to use --use-pep517. The command is as follows:
# pip install -e . --use-pep517

For more installation problems, such as conda environment, librosa-dependent, gcc problems, kaldi installation, etc., you can refer to this installation document. If you encounter problems during installation, you can leave a message on #2150 and find related problems

PaddleSpeech
What is this?PaddleSpeech is an open-source speech and audio toolkit built on the PaddlePaddle platform, covering tasks like Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Text-to-Speech (TTS), Speaker Verification, Speech Translation, Keyword Spotting and Punctuation Restoration. It won the NAACL2022 Best Demo Award.
Is this a Python library, or something more?It's a Python library/toolkit you install via pip or source, but it also ships ready-to-use CLI commands and an optional Server (including a Streaming Server) so you don't have to write code to try the models.
How do I install and run it?Install PaddlePaddle first, then install PaddleSpeech either via pip or by compiling from source (recommended), after which you can call the models through the CLI or the Python API.
Do I need PaddlePaddle and a specific Python version first?Yes — you need gcc >= 4.8.5, Python >= 3.8, and PaddlePaddle itself installed before PaddleSpeech, picking the PaddlePaddle build that matches your CPU/GPU.
Any install pitfalls I should know about?Installation can get tricky with conda environments, librosa dependencies, gcc issues and Kaldi setup — there's a dedicated troubleshooting doc, and the Speech Translation demo specifically needs pre-compiled Kaldi tools that only work on Ubuntu.
Does it only run on Linux, or also Windows and Mac?Linux is the recommended OS, but Windows and Mac OSX are also supported.
What speech tasks does it actually support out of the box?ASR, TTS, Speaker Verification, Keyword Spotting, Audio/Sound Classification, Speech Translation and Punctuation Restoration, with streaming versions of ASR and TTS built for production use.
What makes its Chinese TTS special?It has a rule-based Chinese text frontend handling text normalization and grapheme-to-phoneme conversion, including polyphone and tone sandhi rules tailored to Chinese context.
Can I clone a voice or fine-tune TTS on a new speaker?Yes — there are voice cloning examples (e.g. AISHELL-3 with an ECAPA-TDNN speaker encoder), a TTS finetuning workflow, and ERNIE-SAT models for voice cloning and speech editing.
What underlying models and datasets does it build on?It integrates mainstream datasets like LibriSpeech, LJSpeech, AIShell and CSMSC with models such as Conformer, Wav2vec2, HuBERT, WavLM, Whisper and VITS.
What are similar projects?MOSS-TTS-Nano, Speech, TTS, faster-whisper, pyvideotrans, FireRedAudio, whisperX, sherpa-onnx
Which topics is it in?vocoder, voice-recognition, self-supervised-learning, speech, asr, toolkit, voice-cloning, speech-synthesis, audio-processing, whisper, speech-to-text, speech-recognition
