Open Source Python Speech Software for Mac

DeepSpeech is an open source embedded (offline, on-device) speech-to-text engine which can run in real time on devices ranging from a Raspberry Pi 4 to high power GPU servers. DeepSpeech is an open-source Speech-To-Text engine, using a model trained by machine learning techniques based on Baidu's Deep Speech research paper. Project DeepSpeech uses Google's TensorFlow to make the implementation easier. A pre-trained English model is available for use and can be downloaded following the instructions in the usage docs. If you want to use the pre-trained English model for performing speech-to-text, you can download it (along with other important inference material) from the DeepSpeech releases page.

Library for performing speech recognition, with support for several engines and APIs, online and offline. Recognize speech input from the microphone, transcribe an audio file, save audio data to an audio file. Show extended recognition results, calibrate the recognizer energy threshold for ambient noise levels (see recognizer_instance.energy_threshold for details). Listening to a microphone in the background, various other useful recognizer features. The easiest way to install this is using pip install SpeechRecognition. The first software requirement is Python 2.6, 2.7, or Python 3.3+. This is required to use the library. PyAudio is required if and only if you want to use microphone input (Microphone). PyAudio version 0.2.11+ is required, as earlier versions have known memory management bugs when recording from microphones in certain situations. To hack on this library, first make sure you have all the requirements listed in the "Requirements" section.

VCClient is a real-time voice conversion system that uses machine learning models to transform a speaker’s voice into another voice with minimal latency. It is designed for live applications such as streaming, gaming, and virtual communication, where immediate feedback is essential. The system supports multiple voice conversion models, including RVC and other neural network-based approaches, allowing users to switch between different voices or customize their output. It provides both a graphical user interface and API access, making it suitable for casual users as well as developers who want to integrate voice transformation into their own applications. The project also supports GPU acceleration, enabling faster inference and smoother real-time performance on compatible hardware. Additionally, it includes tools for training and managing voice models, giving users the ability to create personalized voice profiles.

PersonaPlex is an open-source real-time conversational speech AI model that goes beyond traditional text chat by providing full-duplex speech-to-speech interaction, meaning it can listen and talk at the same time instead of waiting for you to finish speaking before responding. This architectural approach eliminates awkward pauses and makes conversations feel much more human-like, with natural behaviors such as overlapping speech, interruptions, and fluent turn-taking, traits that traditional AI assistants typically lack. PersonaPlex also supports persona and voice control, allowing developers to define the role and speaking style of the agent using text prompts and voice conditioning, making it suitable for applications like customized voice assistants, interactive character agents, or domain-specific conversational tools. Internally, it processes continuous audio streams in a hybrid input format so that speech understanding and generation occur jointly.

VoiceCode is an Open Source initiative started by the National Research Council of Canada, to develop a programming by voice toolbox. The aim of the project is to make programming through voice input as easy and productive as with mouse and keyboard. For install, Use subversion, as described in this page: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/voicecode/index.php?title=VCode_1_Doc/InstallationManual.

Just log your favorite FM station speech to a text file using rtl-sdr dongle and speech recognition. Cross-platform tool. Follow the README on the download page for Windows installation. https://sourceforge.net/projects/fm2txt-rtlsdr/files/ If you prefer GitHub source, not SF: https://github.com/randaller/fm2txt For those, who want to recognize from soundcard, not from rtl-sdr (this allows to transcribe NFM etc): https://github.com/randaller/souncard2txt

Yet Another Audio Feature Extractor is a toolbox for audio analysis. Easy to use and efficient at extracting a large number of audio features simultaneously. WAV and MP3 files supported, or embedding in C++, Python or Matlab applications.

Performs actions on detected volume threshold Examples : - Launch music on clap - Launch speech recording when you start speaking - Launch guard webcam when a significant sound is detected - Increase or decrease headphones volume when ambient noise pass

QWave: Qt-based waveform display and audio playback class library.

ASR-Builder provides an easy-to-use interface to the HTK toolkit, that allows users to build ASR systems. ASR-Builder provides a platform that performs house-keeping tasks when using HTK and also provides default training/testing/recognition scripts.

AarTon is an automated text-to-speech application. It allows user to enter text in a web-based front-end and render these texts via a multi-channel sound card.

AGTK is a suite of software components for building tools for annotating linguistic signals, time-series data which documents any kind of linguistic behavior (e.g. audio, video). The internal data structures are based on annotation graphs.

Eve is a AI project written in python that takes commands verbally or textually to control the computer and eveyday functions.

InproTK is an Incremental Spoken Dialogue Processing Toolkit, that is, a toolkit to help you build dialogue systems that listen and talk incrementally, allowing for advanced interactional behaviour. Please see our Wiki for more information: http://sourceforge.net/p/inprotk/wiki/

Moshi is a speech-text foundation model and full-duplex spoken dialogue framework. It uses Mimi, a state-of-the-art streaming neural audio codec. Mimi processes 24 kHz audio, down to a 12.5 Hz representation with a bandwidth of 1.1 kbps, in a fully streaming manner (latency of 80ms, the frame size), yet performs better than existing, non-streaming, codecs like SpeechTokenizer (50 Hz, 4kbps), or SemantiCodec (50 Hz, 1.3kbps). Moshi models two streams of audio: one corresponds to Moshi, and the other one to the user. At inference, the stream from the user is taken from the audio input, and the one for Moshi is sampled from the model's output. Along these two audio streams, Moshi predicts text tokens corresponding to its own speech, its inner monologue, which greatly improves the quality of its generation. A small Depth Transformer models inter codebook dependencies for a given time step, while a large, 7B parameter Temporal Transformer models the temporal dependencies.
