# `ScrAIbe: Streamlined Conversation Recording with Automated Intelligence Based Environment`
|
|
|
|
`ScrAIbe` is a state-of-the-art, [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/) based multilingual speech-to-text framework to generate fully automated transcriptions.
|
|
|
|
Beyond transcription, ScrAIbe supports advanced functions, such as speaker diarization and speaker recognition.
|
|
|
|
Designed as a comprehensive AI toolkit, it uses multiple AI models:
|
|
|
|
- [whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper): A general-purpose speech recognition model.
|
|
- [payannote-audio](https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio): An open-source toolkit for speaker diarization.
|
|
|
|
The framework utilizes a PyanNet-inspired pipeline with the `Pyannote` library for speaker diarization and `VoxCeleb` for speaker embedding.
|
|
|
|
During post-diarization, each audio segment is processed by the OpenAI `Whisper` model, in a transformer encoder-decoder structure. Initially, a CNN mitigates noise and enhances speech. Before transcription, `VoxLingua` dentifies the language segment, facilitating Whisper's role in both transcription and text translation.
|
|
|
|
The following graphic illustates the whole pipeline:

|
|
|
|
## Install `ScrAIbe` :
|
|
|
|
The following command will pull and install the latest commit from this repository, along with its Python dependencies.
|
|
|
|
pip install git+https://github.com/JSchmie/autotranscript.git
|
|
|
|
- **Python version**: Python 3.9
|
|
- **PyTorch version**: Python 1.11.0
|
|
|
|
Important: For the `Pyannote` model you need to be granted access in Hugging Face.
|
|
Check the [Pyannote model page](https://huggingface.co/pyannote/speaker-diarization) to get access to the model.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you need to generate a [Hugging Face token](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/security-tokens).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
We've developed ScrAIbe with several access points to cater to diverse user needs.
|
|
|
|
### Python usage
|
|
|
|
It enables full control over the functionalities as well as process customization.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from autotranscript import AutoTranscribe
|
|
|
|
model = AutoTranscribe()
|
|
|
|
text = model.transcribe("audio.wav")
|
|
|
|
print(f"Transcription: \n{text}")
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Refer to [whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper) and [payannote-audio](https://github.com/pyannote/pyannote-audio) for further options.
|
|
|
|
### Command-line usage
|
|
|
|
You can also run ScrAIbe in a [Gradio App](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio) interface using the following command-line:
|
|
|
|
autotranscript audio.wav
|
|
|
|
Some example of important functionalities are:
|
|
|
|
- `--task`: Task to be performed, either transcription, diarization or translation into English. Default is transcription.
|
|
- `--hf-token`: Personal `Hugging Face` token.
|
|
- `--server-name`: Name of the Web Server. If empty 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 will be used.
|
|
- `--port`: To run the Gradio app. The default is 7860.
|
|
|
|
- `--whisper-model-name`: Name of the [whisper](https://github.com/openai/whisper) model to be used. Default is `medium`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run the following to view all available options:
|
|
|
|
autotranscript -h
|
|
|
|
### Running a Docker container
|
|
|
|
After you have installed Docker, you can execute the following commands in the terminal.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo docker build . --build-arg="hf_token=[enter your HuggingFace token] " --no-cache -t [image name]
|
|
|
|
sudo docker run --rm -it -p 7860:7860 --name [container name][image name] --hf_token [enter your HuggingFace token] --start_server
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Then click the following link to run the app:
|
|
|
|
http://0.0.0.0:7860
|
|

## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
The following milestones are planned for further releases of ScrAIbe:
|
|
|
|
- Model quantization
|
|
Quantization to empower memory and computational efficiency.
|
|
|
|
- Model fine-tuning
|
|
In order to be able to cover a variety of linguistic phenomena.
|
|
|
|
For example, currently ScrAIbe is able to transcribe word by word, but ignores filler words or speech pauses.
|
|
These phenomena can be addressed by fine-tuning with the corresponding data.
|
|
|
|
- Implementation of LLMs
|
|
One example is the implementation of a summarization or extraction model, which enables ScrAIbe to automatically summarize or retrieve the key information out of a generated transcription, which could be the minutes of a meeting.
|
|
|
|
- Executable for Windows
|
