TensorFlowASR implements some automatic speech recognition architectures such as DeepSpeech2, Jasper, RNN Transducer, ContextNet, Conformer, etc. These models can be converted to TFLite to reduce memory and computation for deployment :smile:

## Installation

Install `tensorflow>=2.3.0` or `tf-nightly`.

For training and testing, you should use `git clone` for installing necessary packages from other authors (`ctc_decoders`, `rnnt_loss`, etc.)

### Installing via PyPi

Run `pip3 install -U TensorFlowASR`

### Installing from source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/TensorSpeech/TensorFlowASR.git
cd TensorFlowASR
python3 setup.py install
```

For anaconda3:

```bash
conda create -y -n tfasr tensorflow-gpu python=3.8 # tensorflow if using CPU
conda activate tfasr
pip install -U tensorflow-gpu # upgrade to latest version of tensorflow
git clone https://github.com/TensorSpeech/TensorFlowASR.git
cd TensorFlowASR
python setup.py install
```

## Setup training and testing

- For datasets, see [datasets](./tensorflow_asr/datasets/README.md)

- For _training, testing and using_ **CTC Models**, run `./scripts/install_ctc_decoders.sh`

- For _training_ **Transducer Models**, run `export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda && ./scripts/install_rnnt_loss.sh` (**Note**: only `export CUDA_HOME` when you have CUDA)

- For _mixed precision training_, use flag `--mxp` when running python scripts from [examples](./examples)

- For _enabling XLA_, run `TF_XLA_FLAGS=--tf_xla_auto_jit=2 python3 $path_to_py_script`)

- For _hiding warnings_, run `export TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL=2` before running any examples

## TFLite Convertion

After converting to tflite, the tflite model is like a function that transforms directly from an **audio signal** to **unicode code points**, then we can convert unicode points to string.

1. Install `tf-nightly` using `pip install tf-nightly`
2. Build a model with the same architecture as the trained model _(if model has tflite argument, you must set it to True)_, then load the weights from trained model to the built model
3. Load `TFSpeechFeaturizer` and `TextFeaturizer` to model using function `add_featurizers`
4. Convert model's function to tflite as follows:

```python
func = model.make_tflite_function(greedy=True) # or False
concrete_func = func.get_concrete_function()
converter = tf.lite.TFLiteConverter.from_concrete_functions([concrete_func])
converter.experimental_new_converter = True
converter.optimizations = [tf.lite.Optimize.DEFAULT]
converter.target_spec.supported_ops = [tf.lite.OpsSet.TFLITE_BUILTINS,
                                       tf.lite.OpsSet.SELECT_TF_OPS]
tflite_model = converter.convert()
```

5. Save the converted tflite model as follows:

```python
if not os.path.exists(os.path.dirname(tflite_path)):
    os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(tflite_path))
with open(tflite_path, "wb") as tflite_out:
    tflite_out.write(tflite_model)
```

5. Then the `.tflite` model is ready to be deployed
