What problem it solves

Speech recognition systems often lose global context when they divide continuous audio into short chunks, while speech generation must maintain speaker consistency, timing, and coherence across long recordings. The project addresses these needs with unified long-form ASR, streaming recognition, and text-to-speech models.

Key features

• Long-form speech recognition — Process continuous audio in a single pass and produce structured transcripts that identify the speaker, timestamp, and spoken content.

  Source: README

• Customized recognition context — Provide names, technical terms, or background information as customized hotwords to guide recognition of domain-specific content.

  Source: README

• Streaming speech recognition — Transcribe speech as audio arrives, emitting text for each chunk instead of waiting for the recording to finish.

  Source: README

• Real-time text-to-speech — Generate speech from streaming text input with a lightweight model designed for deployment and long-form generation.

  Source: README, docs

• Efficient continuous speech tokenization — Use acoustic and semantic continuous speech tokenizers at a low frame rate to preserve audio fidelity and improve efficiency when processing long sequences.

Who it may suit

Inference: The project may suit speech AI researchers, developers experimenting with long-form transcription or streaming speech, and teams prototyping voice interfaces.

Topics to discuss

• Which long-form ASR evaluation datasets would be most useful for validating speaker attribution and timestamp quality?

• What deployment workflows should be documented for streaming recognition and real-time text-to-speech?

• How should customized hotwords be designed for different technical and multilingual domains?
