Model¶

class Model(aModelPath)¶

exported from index

An object providing an interface to a trained DeepSpeech model.

Arguments

• aModelPath (string) – The path to the frozen model graph.

Model. addHotWord(aWord, aBoost)¶

Add a hot-word and its boost

Arguments

• aWord (string) – word
• aBoost (number) – boost

Model. beamWidth()¶

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

Returns

number – Beam width value used by the model.

Model. clearHotWords()¶

Clear all hot-word entries

Model. createStream()¶

Create a new streaming inference state. One can then call StreamImpl.feedAudioContent() and StreamImpl.finishStream() on the returned stream object.

Returns

StreamImpl – a StreamImpl() object that represents the streaming state.

Model. disableExternalScorer()¶

Disable decoding using an external scorer.

Model. enableExternalScorer(aScorerPath)¶

Enable decoding using an external scorer.

Arguments

• aScorerPath (string) – The path to the external scorer file.

Model. eraseHotWord(aWord)¶

Erase entry for hot-word

Arguments

• aWord (string) – word

Model. sampleRate()¶

Return the sample rate expected by the model.

Returns

number – Sample rate.

Model. setBeamWidth(aBeamWidth)¶

Set beam width value used by the model.

Arguments

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

Model. setScorerAlphaBeta(aLMAlpha, aLMBeta)¶

Set hyperparameters alpha and beta of the external scorer.

Arguments

• aLMAlpha (number) – The alpha hyperparameter of the CTC decoder. Language Model weight.
• aLMBeta (number) – The beta hyperparameter of the CTC decoder. Word insertion weight.

Model. stt(aBuffer)¶

Use the DeepSpeech model to perform Speech-To-Text.

Arguments

• aBuffer (Buffer) – A 16-bit, mono raw audio signal at the appropriate sample rate (matching what the model was trained on).

Returns

string – The STT result. Returns undefined on error.

Model. sttWithMetadata(aBuffer, aNumResults)¶

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

Arguments

• aBuffer (Buffer) – A 16-bit, mono raw audio signal at the appropriate sample rate (matching what the model was trained on).
• aNumResults (number) – Maximum number of candidate transcripts to return. Returned list might be smaller than this. Default value is 1 if not specified.

Returns

Metadata – Metadata() object containing multiple candidate transcripts. Each transcript has per-token metadata including timing information. The user is responsible for freeing Metadata by calling FreeMetadata(). Returns undefined on error.

Stream¶

class StreamImpl(nativeStream)¶

Provides an interface to a DeepSpeech stream. The constructor cannot be called directly, use Model.createStream().

Arguments

• nativeStream (object) – SWIG wrapper for native StreamingState object.

StreamImpl. feedAudioContent(aBuffer)¶

Feed audio samples to an ongoing streaming inference.

Arguments

• aBuffer (Buffer) – An array of 16-bit, mono raw audio samples at the appropriate sample rate (matching what the model was trained on).

StreamImpl. finishStream()¶

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

Returns

string – The STT result. This method will free the stream, it must not be used after this method is called.

StreamImpl. finishStreamWithMetadata(aNumResults)¶

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

Arguments

• aNumResults (number) – Maximum number of candidate transcripts to return. Returned list might be smaller than this. Default value is 1 if not specified.

Returns

Metadata – Outputs a Metadata() struct of individual letters along with their timing information. The user is responsible for freeing Metadata by calling FreeMetadata(). This method will free the stream, it must not be used after this method is called.

StreamImpl. intermediateDecode()¶

Compute the intermediate decoding of an ongoing streaming inference.

Returns

string – The STT intermediate result.

StreamImpl. intermediateDecodeWithMetadata(aNumResults)¶

Compute the intermediate decoding of an ongoing streaming inference, return results including metadata.

Arguments

• aNumResults (number) – Maximum number of candidate transcripts to return. Returned list might be smaller than this. Default value is 1 if not specified.

Returns

Metadata – Metadata() object containing multiple candidate transcripts. Each transcript has per-token metadata including timing information. The user is responsible for freeing Metadata by calling FreeMetadata(). Returns undefined on error.

Module exported methods¶

FreeModel(model)¶

Frees associated resources and destroys model object.

Arguments

• model (Model) – A model pointer returned by Model()

FreeStream(stream)¶

Destroy a streaming state without decoding the computed logits. This can be used if you no longer need the result of an ongoing streaming inference and don’t want to perform a costly decode operation.

Arguments

• stream (StreamImpl) – A streaming state pointer returned by Model.createStream().

FreeMetadata(metadata)¶

Free memory allocated for metadata information.

Arguments

• metadata (Metadata) – Object containing metadata as returned by Model.sttWithMetadata() or StreamImpl.finishStreamWithMetadata()

Version()¶

Returns the version of this library. The returned version is a semantic version (SemVer 2.0.0).

Returns

string –

Metadata¶

class Metadata()¶

interface, exported from index

An array of CandidateTranscript objects computed by the model.
