DeepSpeechModel¶

class DeepSpeechModel¶

Exposes a DeepSpeech model in Java.

Public Functions

org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.DeepSpeechModel(String modelPath)

An object providing an interface to a trained DeepSpeech model.

Parameters

• modelPath: The path to the frozen model graph.

Exceptions

• RuntimeException: on failure.

long org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.beamWidth()

Get beam width value used by the model. If setModelBeamWidth was not called before, will return the default value loaded from the model file.

Return

Beam width value used by the model.

void org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.setBeamWidth(long beamWidth)

Set beam width value used by the model.

Parameters

• aBeamWidth: The beam width used by the model. A larger beam width value generates better results at the cost of decoding time.

Exceptions

• RuntimeException: on failure.

int org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.sampleRate()

Return the sample rate expected by the model.

Return

Sample rate.

void org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.freeModel()

Frees associated resources and destroys model object.

void org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.enableExternalScorer(String scorer)

Enable decoding using an external scorer.

Parameters

• scorer: The path to the external scorer file.

Exceptions

• RuntimeException: on failure.

void org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.disableExternalScorer()

Disable decoding using an external scorer.

Exceptions

• RuntimeException: on failure.

void org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.setScorerAlphaBeta(float alpha, float beta)

Enable decoding using beam scoring with a KenLM language model.

Parameters

• alpha: The alpha hyperparameter of the decoder. Language model weight.
• beta: The beta hyperparameter of the decoder. Word insertion weight.

Exceptions

• RuntimeException: on failure.

Metadata org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.sttWithMetadata(short [] buffer, int buffer_size, int num_results)

Use the DeepSpeech model to perform Speech-To-Text and output metadata about the results.

Return

Metadata struct containing multiple candidate transcripts. Each transcript has per-token metadata including timing information.

Parameters

• buffer: A 16-bit, mono raw audio signal at the appropriate sample rate (matching what the model was trained on).
• buffer_size: The number of samples in the audio signal.
• num_results: Maximum number of candidate transcripts to return. Returned list might be smaller than this.

DeepSpeechStreamingState org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.createStream()

Create a new streaming inference state. The streaming state returned by this function can then be passed to feedAudioContent() and finishStream().

Return

An opaque object that represents the streaming state.

Exceptions

• RuntimeException: on failure.

void org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.feedAudioContent(DeepSpeechStreamingState ctx, short [] buffer, int buffer_size)

Feed audio samples to an ongoing streaming inference.

Parameters

• cctx: A streaming state pointer returned by createStream().
• buffer: An array of 16-bit, mono raw audio samples at the appropriate sample rate (matching what the model was trained on).
• buffer_size: The number of samples in buffer.

String org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.intermediateDecode(DeepSpeechStreamingState ctx)

Compute the intermediate decoding of an ongoing streaming inference.

Return

The STT intermediate result.

Parameters

• ctx: A streaming state pointer returned by createStream().

Metadata org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.intermediateDecodeWithMetadata(DeepSpeechStreamingState ctx, int num_results)

Compute the intermediate decoding of an ongoing streaming inference.

Return

The STT intermediate result.

Parameters

• ctx: A streaming state pointer returned by createStream().
• num_results: Maximum number of candidate transcripts to return. Returned list might be smaller than this.

String org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.finishStream(DeepSpeechStreamingState ctx)

Compute the final decoding of an ongoing streaming inference and return the result. Signals the end of an ongoing streaming inference.

Return

The STT result.

Note

This method will free the state pointer (ctx).

Parameters

• ctx: A streaming state pointer returned by createStream().

Metadata org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.finishStreamWithMetadata(DeepSpeechStreamingState ctx, int num_results)

Compute the final decoding of an ongoing streaming inference and return the results including metadata. Signals the end of an ongoing streaming inference.

Return

Metadata struct containing multiple candidate transcripts. Each transcript has per-token metadata including timing information.

Note

This method will free the state pointer (ctx).

Parameters

• ctx: A streaming state pointer returned by createStream().
• num_results: Maximum number of candidate transcripts to return. Returned list might be smaller than this.

void org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.addHotWord(String word, float boost)

Add a hot-word.

Parameters

• word:
• boost:

Exceptions

• RuntimeException: on failure.

void org.deepspeech.libdeepspeech.DeepSpeechModel.eraseHotWord(String word)

Erase a hot-word.

Parameters

• word:
