# Speech2Text

## Overview

The Speech2Text model was proposed in [fairseq S2T: Fast Speech-to-Text Modeling with fairseq](https://huggingface.co/papers/2010.05171) by Changhan Wang, Yun Tang, Xutai Ma, Anne Wu, Dmytro Okhonko, Juan Pino. It's a
transformer-based seq2seq (encoder-decoder) model designed for end-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Speech
Translation (ST). It uses a convolutional downsampler to reduce the length of speech inputs by 3/4th before they are
fed into the encoder. The model is trained with standard autoregressive cross-entropy loss and generates the
transcripts/translations autoregressively. Speech2Text has been fine-tuned on several datasets for ASR and ST:
[LibriSpeech](http://www.openslr.org/12), [CoVoST 2](https://github.com/facebookresearch/covost), [MuST-C](https://ict.fbk.eu/must-c/).

This model was contributed by [valhalla](https://huggingface.co/valhalla). The original code can be found [here](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/tree/master/examples/speech_to_text).

## Inference

Speech2Text is a speech model that accepts a float tensor of log-mel filter-bank features extracted from the speech
signal. It's a transformer-based seq2seq model, so the transcripts/translations are generated autoregressively. The
`generate()` method can be used for inference.

The [Speech2TextFeatureExtractor](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/model_doc/speech_to_text#transformers.Speech2TextFeatureExtractor) class is responsible for extracting the log-mel filter-bank
features. The [Speech2TextProcessor](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/model_doc/speech_to_text#transformers.Speech2TextProcessor) wraps [Speech2TextFeatureExtractor](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/model_doc/speech_to_text#transformers.Speech2TextFeatureExtractor) and
[Speech2TextTokenizer](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/model_doc/speech_to_text#transformers.Speech2TextTokenizer) into a single instance to both extract the input features and decode the
predicted token ids.

The feature extractor depends on `torchaudio` and the tokenizer depends on `sentencepiece` so be sure to
install those packages before running the examples. You could either install those as extra speech dependencies with
`pip install transformers"[speech, sentencepiece]"` or install the packages separately with `pip install torchaudio sentencepiece`. Also `torchaudio` requires the development version of the [libsndfile](http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/) package which can be installed via a system package manager. On Ubuntu it can
be installed as follows: `apt install libsndfile1-dev`

- ASR and Speech Translation

```python
>>> import torch
>>> from transformers import Speech2TextProcessor, Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration
>>> from datasets import load_dataset

>>> model = Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr")
>>> processor = Speech2TextProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-small-librispeech-asr")

>>> ds = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_demo", "clean", split="validation")

>>> inputs = processor(ds[0]["audio"]["array"], sampling_rate=ds[0]["audio"]["sampling_rate"], return_tensors="pt")
>>> generated_ids = model.generate(inputs["input_features"], attention_mask=inputs["attention_mask"])

>>> transcription = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
>>> transcription
['mister quilter is the apostle of the middle classes and we are glad to welcome his gospel']
```

- Multilingual speech translation

  For multilingual speech translation models, `eos_token_id` is used as the `decoder_start_token_id` and
  the target language id is forced as the first generated token. To force the target language id as the first
  generated token, pass the `forced_bos_token_id` parameter to the `generate()` method. The following
  example shows how to translate English speech to French text using the *facebook/s2t-medium-mustc-multilingual-st*
  checkpoint.

```python
>>> import torch
>>> from transformers import Speech2TextProcessor, Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration
>>> from datasets import load_dataset

>>> model = Speech2TextForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-medium-mustc-multilingual-st")
>>> processor = Speech2TextProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-medium-mustc-multilingual-st")

>>> ds = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_demo", "clean", split="validation")

>>> inputs = processor(ds[0]["audio"]["array"], sampling_rate=ds[0]["audio"]["sampling_rate"], return_tensors="pt")
>>> generated_ids = model.generate(
...     inputs["input_features"],
...     attention_mask=inputs["attention_mask"],
...     forced_bos_token_id=processor.tokenizer.lang_code_to_id["fr"],
... )

>>> translation = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
>>> translation
["(Vidéo) Si M. Kilder est l'apossible des classes moyennes, et nous sommes heureux d'être accueillis dans son évangile."]
```

[Source](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/v5.7.0/src/transformers/models/speech_to_text/feature_extraction_speech_to_text.py#L33)

Constructs a Speech2Text feature extractor.

This feature extractor inherits from [Speech2TextFeatureExtractor](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/model_doc/speech_to_text#transformers.Speech2TextFeatureExtractor) which contains most of the main methods. Users

This class extracts mel-filter bank features from raw speech using TorchAudio if installed or using numpy
otherwise, and applies utterance-level cepstral mean and variance normalization to the extracted features.

  The sequence or batch of sequences to be padded. Each sequence can be a numpy array, a list of float
  values, a list of numpy arrays or a list of list of float values. Must be mono channel audio, not
  stereo, i.e. single float per timestep.
- **padding** (`bool`, `str` or [PaddingStrategy](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/internal/file_utils#transformers.utils.PaddingStrategy), *optional*, defaults to `True`) --
  Select a strategy to pad the returned sequences (according to the model's padding side and padding
  index) among:

  - `True` or `'longest'`: Pad to the longest sequence in the batch (or no padding if only a single
    sequence if provided).
  - `'max_length'`: Pad to a maximum length specified with the argument `max_length` or to the maximum
    acceptable input length for the model if that argument is not provided.
  - `False` or `'do_not_pad'` (default): No padding (i.e., can output a batch with sequences of different
    lengths).
- **max_length** (`int`, *optional*) --
  Maximum length of the returned list and optionally padding length (see above).
- **truncation** (`bool`) --
  Activates truncation to cut input sequences longer than *max_length* to *max_length*.
- **pad_to_multiple_of** (`int`, *optional*) --
  If set will pad the sequence to a multiple of the provided value.

  This is especially useful to enable the use of Tensor Cores on NVIDIA hardware with compute capability
  `>= 7.5` (Volta), or on TPUs which benefit from having sequence lengths be a multiple of 128.
- **return_attention_mask** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether to return the attention mask. If left to the default, will return the attention mask according
  to the specific feature_extractor's default.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)

  

  For Speech2TextTransformer models, `attention_mask` should always be passed for batched inference, to
  avoid subtle bugs.

  

- **return_tensors** (`str` or [TensorType](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/internal/file_utils#transformers.TensorType), *optional*) --
  If set, will return tensors instead of list of python integers. Acceptable values are:

  - `'pt'`: Return PyTorch `torch.Tensor` objects.
  - `'np'`: Return Numpy `np.ndarray` objects.
- **sampling_rate** (`int`, *optional*) --
  The sampling rate at which the `raw_speech` input was sampled. It is strongly recommended to pass
  `sampling_rate` at the forward call to prevent silent errors.
- **padding_value** (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.0) --
  The value that is used to fill the padding values / vectors.0

Main method to featurize and prepare for the model one or several sequence(s).

**Parameters:**

feature_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 80) : The feature dimension of the extracted features.

sampling_rate (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 16000) : The sampling rate at which the audio files should be digitalized expressed in hertz (Hz).

num_mel_bins (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 80) : Number of Mel-frequency bins.

padding_value (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.0) : The value that is used to fill the padding vectors.

dither (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.0) : Adds dithering. In other words, adds a small Gaussian noise to each frame. E.g. use 4.0 to add dithering with a normal distribution centered around 0.0 with standard deviation 4.0 (assuming [-32k,+32k] range of kaldi waveform). The value 0.0 means no dithering. Dithering has similar effect as `mel_floor`. It reduces the high log_mel_fbank values for signals with hard-zero sections, when VAD cutoff is present in the signal.

do_ceptral_normalize (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) : Whether or not to apply utterance-level cepstral mean and variance normalization to extracted features.

normalize_means (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) : Whether or not to zero-mean normalize the extracted features.

normalize_vars (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`) : Whether or not to unit-variance normalize the extracted features.

  The tensors corresponding to the input audio features. Audio features can be obtained using
  [Speech2TextFeatureExtractor](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/model_doc/speech_to_text#transformers.Speech2TextFeatureExtractor). See [Speech2TextFeatureExtractor.__call__()](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/model_doc/speech_to_text#transformers.Speech2TextFeatureExtractor.__call__) for details ([Speech2TextProcessor](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/model_doc/speech_to_text#transformers.Speech2TextProcessor) uses

- **attention_mask** (`torch.Tensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Mask to avoid performing attention on padding token indices. Mask values selected in `[0, 1]`:

  - 1 for tokens that are **not masked**,
  - 0 for tokens that are **masked**.

  [What are attention masks?](../glossary#attention-mask)
- **decoder_input_ids** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Indices of decoder input sequence tokens in the vocabulary.

  Indices can be obtained using `SpeechToTextTokenizer`. See [PreTrainedTokenizer.encode()](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.encode) and
  [PreTrainedTokenizer.__call__()](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/internal/tokenization_utils#transformers.PreTrainedTokenizerBase.__call__) for details.

  [What are decoder input IDs?](../glossary#decoder-input-ids)

  SpeechToText uses the `eos_token_id` as the starting token for `decoder_input_ids` generation. If
  `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_input_ids` have to be input (see
  `past_key_values`).
- **decoder_attention_mask** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Default behavior: generate a tensor that ignores pad tokens in `decoder_input_ids`. Causal mask will also
  be used by default.

  If you want to change padding behavior, you should read
  `modeling_speech_to_text._prepare_decoder_attention_mask` and modify to your needs. See diagram 1 in [the
  paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/1910.13461) for more information on the default strategy.
- **encoder_outputs** (`tuple[tuple[torch.FloatTensor]]`, *optional*) --
  Tuple consists of (`last_hidden_state`, *optional*: `hidden_states`, *optional*: `attentions`)
  `last_hidden_state` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) is a sequence of
  hidden-states at the output of the last layer of the encoder. Used in the cross-attention of the decoder.
- **past_key_values** (`~cache_utils.Cache`, *optional*) --
  Pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks and in the cross-attention
  blocks) that can be used to speed up sequential decoding. This typically consists in the `past_key_values`
  returned by the model at a previous stage of decoding, when `use_cache=True` or `config.use_cache=True`.

  Only [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance is allowed as input, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).
  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
- **decoder_inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, target_sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `decoder_input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded
  representation. If `past_key_values` is used, optionally only the last `decoder_inputs_embeds` have to be
  input (see `past_key_values`). This is useful if you want more control over how to convert
  `decoder_input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the model's internal embedding lookup matrix.

  If `decoder_input_ids` and `decoder_inputs_embeds` are both unset, `decoder_inputs_embeds` takes the value
  of `inputs_embeds`.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).0[Seq2SeqLMOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqLMOutput) or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A [Seq2SeqLMOutput](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/main_classes/output#transformers.modeling_outputs.Seq2SeqLMOutput) or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration ([Speech2TextConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/model_doc/speech_to_text#transformers.Speech2TextConfig)) and inputs.
The [Speech2TextModel](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/model_doc/speech_to_text#transformers.Speech2TextModel) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

- **loss** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- Language modeling loss.
- **logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, config.vocab_size)`) -- Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax).
- **past_key_values** (`EncoderDecoderCache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [EncoderDecoderCache](/docs/transformers/v5.7.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.EncoderDecoderCache) instance. For more details, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).

  one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the decoder at the output of each layer plus the initial embedding outputs.
- **decoder_attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length,
  sequence_length)`.

  Attentions weights of the decoder, after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the
  self-attention heads.
- **cross_attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length,
