How to install Mozilla's implementation of Baidu deep speech on Windows?
Installing Mozilla's implementation of Baidu's DeepSpeech on Windows involves several steps, including setting up the necessary dependencies and building the software. Here's a general guide to help you get started:
Install Dependencies:
- Git: Download and install Git for Windows from https://git-scm.com/download/win.
- Python: Download and install Python 3.6 or later from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/.
- Visual Studio: Install Visual Studio Community Edition 2019 with the "Desktop development with C++" workload and Python support.
Clone the Repository:
Open a Command Prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to clone the DeepSpeech repository. Then, run the following commands:
bashgit clone https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech.git
cd DeepSpeech
Create and Activate Virtual Environment:
Create a virtual environment to manage dependencies:
bashpython -m venv deepspeech-venv
Activate the virtual environment:
bashdeepspeech-venv\Scripts\activate
Install Dependencies:
Install the required Python packages using pip:
bashpip install numpy progressbar2 pyaudio
Install DeepSpeech:
Install the DeepSpeech package using pip:
bashpip install deepspeech
Download the Pre-trained Model:
Download the pre-trained English model from Mozilla's website:
bashcurl -LO https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/releases/download/v0.9.3/deepspeech-0.9.3-models.pbmm
curl -LO https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/releases/download/v0.9.3/deepspeech-0.9.3-models.scorer
Install DeepSpeech Examples:
Clone the DeepSpeech examples repository:
bashgit clone https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech-examples.git
Run DeepSpeech:
Navigate to the "DeepSpeech-examples" directory and use the
deepspeech
command to transcribe audio:bashdeepspeech --model deepspeech-0.9.3-models.pbmm --scorer deepspeech-0.9.3-models.scorer --audio your_audio.wav
Replace your_audio.wav
with the path to the audio file you want to transcribe.
Please note that the steps provided are based on the information available as of my knowledge cutoff date in September 2021. Be sure to check the official Mozilla DeepSpeech documentation for any updates or changes that may have occurred after that date.
