Silero Models
Silero Models: pre-trained enterprise-grade STT / TTS models and benchmarks.
Enterprise-grade STT made refreshingly simple (seriously, see benchmarks). We provide quality comparable to Google's STT (and sometimes even better) and we are not Google.
As a bonus:
- No Kaldi;
- No compilation;
- No 20-step instructions;
Also we have published TTS models that satisfy the following criteria:
- One-line usage;
- A large library of voices;
- A fully end-to-end pipeline;
- Naturally sounding speech;
- No GPU or training required;
- Minimalism and lack of dependencies;
- Faster than real-time on one CPU thread (!!!);
- Support for 16kHz and 8kHz out of the box;
Speech-To-Text
All of the provided models are listed in the models.yml file. Any meta-data and newer versions will be added there.
Currently we provide the following checkpoints:

Dependencies
- All examples:
torch
, 1.8+ (used to clone the repo in tf and onnx examples), breaking changes for version older than 1.6torchaudio
, latest version bound to PyTorch should workomegaconf
, latest just should work
- Additional for ONNX examples:
onnx
, latest just should workonnxruntime
, latest just should work
- Additional for TensorFlow examples:
tensorflow
, latest just should worktensorflow_hub
, latest just should work
Please see the provided Colab for details for each example below. All examples are maintained to work with the latest major packaged versions of the installed libraries.
PyTorch
import torch
import zipfile
import torchaudio
from glob import glob
device = torch.device('cpu') # gpu also works, but our models are fast enough for CPU
model, decoder, utils = torch.hub.load(repo_or_dir='snakers4/silero-models',
model='silero_stt',
language='en', # also available 'de', 'es'
device=device)
(read_batch, split_into_batches,
read_audio, prepare_model_input) = utils # see function signature for details
# download a single file, any format compatible with TorchAudio
torch.hub.download_url_to_file('https://opus-codec.org/static/examples/samples/speech_orig.wav',
dst ='speech_orig.wav', progress=True)
test_files = glob('speech_orig.wav')
batches = split_into_batches(test_files, batch_size=10)
input = prepare_model_input(read_batch(batches[0]),
device=device)
output = model(input)
for example in output:
print(decoder(example.cpu()))
ONNX
You can run our model everywhere, where you can import the ONNX model or run ONNX runtime.
import onnx
import torch
import onnxruntime
from omegaconf import OmegaConf
language = 'en' # also available 'de', 'es'
# load provided utils
_, decoder, utils = torch.hub.load(repo_or_dir='snakers4/silero-models', model='silero_stt', language=language)
(read_batch, split_into_batches,
read_audio, prepare_model_input) = utils
# see available models
torch.hub.download_url_to_file('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snakers4/silero-models/master/models.yml', 'models.yml')
models = OmegaConf.load('models.yml')
available_languages = list(models.stt_models.keys())
assert language in available_languages
# load the actual ONNX model
torch.hub.download_url_to_file(models.stt_models.en.latest.onnx, 'model.onnx', progress=True)
onnx_model = onnx.load('model.onnx')
onnx.checker.check_model(onnx_model)
ort_session = onnxruntime.InferenceSession('model.onnx')
# download a single file, any format compatible with TorchAudio
torch.hub.download_url_to_file('https://opus-codec.org/static/examples/samples/speech_orig.wav', dst ='speech_orig.wav', progress=True)
test_files = ['speech_orig.wav']
batches = split_into_batches(test_files, batch_size=10)
input = prepare_model_input(read_batch(batches[0]))
# actual onnx inference and decoding
onnx_input = input.detach().cpu().numpy()
ort_inputs = {'input': onnx_input}
ort_outs = ort_session.run(None, ort_inputs)
decoded = decoder(torch.Tensor(ort_outs[0])[0])
print(decoded)

print(decoder(torch.Tensor(res.numpy())[0]))
Text-To-Speech
Models and Speakers
All of the provided models are listed in the models.yml file. Any meta-data and newer versions will be added there.
Currently we provide the following speakers:
(!!!) In multi_v2
all speakers can speak all of langauges (with various levels of fidelity).
Dependencies
Basic dependencies for colab examples:
torch
, 1.9+;torchaudio
, latest version bound to PyTorch should work (required only because models are hosted together with STT, not required for work);omegaconf
, latest (can be removed as well, if you do not load all of the configs);
PyTorch
import torch
language = 'ru'
speaker = 'kseniya_v2'
sample_rate = 16000
device = torch.device('cpu')
model, example_text = torch.hub.load(repo_or_dir='snakers4/silero-models',
model='silero_tts',
language=language,
speaker=speaker)
model.to(device) # gpu or cpu
audio = model.apply_tts(texts=[example_text],
sample_rate=sample_rate)
Standalone Use
- Standalone usage just requires PyTorch 1.9+ and python standard library;
- Please see the detailed examples in Colab;
import os
import torch
device = torch.device('cpu')
torch.set_num_threads(4)
local_file = 'model.pt'
if not os.path.isfile(local_file):
torch.hub.download_url_to_file('https://models.silero.ai/models/tts/ru/v2_kseniya.pt',
local_file)
model = torch.package.PackageImporter(local_file).load_pickle("tts_models", "model")
model.to(device)
example_batch = ['В недрах тундры выдры в г+етрах т+ырят в вёдра ядра кедров.',
'Котики - это жидкость!',
'М+ама М+илу м+ыла с м+ылом.']
sample_rate = 16000
audio_paths = model.save_wav(texts=example_batch,
sample_rate=sample_rate)
