User guide — SpeechBrain 0.5.0 documentation (original) (raw)

SpeechBrain is an open-source and all-in-one speech toolkit based on PyTorch. This documentation provides install steps, tutorials and API documentation necessary to help users develop their projects.

SpeechBrain is released under the Apache License, version 2.0. The Apache license is a popular BSD-like license. SpeechBrain can be redistributed for free, even for commercial purposes, although you can not take off the license headers (and under some circumstances you may have to distribute a license document). Apache is not a viral license like the GPL, which forces you to release your modifications to the source code. Also note that this project has no connection to the Apache Foundation, other than that we use the same license terms.

It is a community project, which means that discussions are engaged community-wide while decisions are taken by Dr. Ravanelli and Dr. Parcollet with respect to the community views. There is no legal institution associated as an owner of SpeechBrain. Furthermore, and due to the Apache License, anyone that would disagree with the way the project is being run can fork it and start a new toolkit.

We provide complete Jupyter Notebook tutorials below for beginners and advanced users alike! You can view them in documentation, run them in Google Colab or run them locally withJupyter Notebook.
