Rust bindings of Mozilla's DeepSpeech library.

The library is open source and performs Speech-To-Text completely offline. They provide pretrained models for English.

Quickstart

Preparation:

  1. Obtain the Deepspeech native_client library. The [release announcement] contains precompiled libraries for various targets.
  2. Download the pretrained models named like deepspeech-{version}-models.tar.gz from the release announcement and extract the zip file to some location.
  3. Add the directory where the native_client library lies to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH environment variables.

You can now invoke the example via:

cargo run --release --example client <path-to-model-dir> <path-to-audio-file>

It will print out the recognized sequence on stdout. The format of the audio files is important: only mono files are supported for now.

All codecs that the awesome audrey library supports are supported.

See DeepSpeech's [release announcement] for more.

Supported versions of DeepSpeech

We currently support version 0.6.0 of the DeepSpeech library. We will always try to provide compatibility with the most recent release possible.
