FSMN VAD

A enterprise-grade Voice Activity Detector from modelscope and funasr.

Key Features

• Fast

  One audio (70s) less than 0.6s to be processed on mac M1 pro . Under the ONNX runtime, the RTF can be accelerated to 0.0077

• Lightweight

  Do not need to download the model, the model is loaded from the memory directly. and the onnx model size is only 1.6M. Do not need pytorch, torchaudio, etc. dependencies.

• General

  fsmn VAD was trained on chinese corpora. and it finished anti-noise training, with certain noise rejection ability performs well on audios from different domains with various background noise and quality levels.

  • file vad
  • streaming vad

• Flexible sampling rate

  • 16k
  • 8k

• Highly Accurate

  coming ...

• Highly Portable

  fsmn VAD reaps benefits from the rich ecosystems built around ONNX running everywhere where these runtimes are available.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/lovemefan/fsmn-vad
cd fsmn-vad
python setup.py install

Usage

from fsmnvad import FSMNVad
from pathlib import Path
vad = FSMNVad()
segments = vad.segments_offline(Path("/path/audio/vad_example.wav"))
print(segments)

from fsmnvad import FSMNVadOnline
from fsmnvad import AudioReader
in_cache = []
speech, sample_rate = AudioReader.read_wav_file('/path/audio/vad_example.wav')
speech_length = speech.shape[0]

sample_offset = 0
step = 1600
vad_online = FSMNVadOnline()

for sample_offset in range(0, speech_length, min(step, speech_length - sample_offset)):
    if sample_offset + step >= speech_length - 1:
        step = speech_length - sample_offset
        is_final = True
    else:
        is_final = False
    segments_result, in_cache = vad_online.segments_online(
        speech[sample_offset: sample_offset + step],
        in_cache=in_cache, is_final=is_final)
    if segments_result:
        print(segments_result)
