Speech To Speech: an effort for an open-sourced and modular GPT4-o

📖 Quick Index

Approach

Structure

This repository implements a speech-to-speech cascaded pipeline consisting of the following parts:

  1. Voice Activity Detection (VAD)
  2. Speech to Text (STT)
  3. Language Model (LM)
  4. Text to Speech (TTS)

Modularity

The pipeline provides a fully open and modular approach, with a focus on leveraging models available through the Transformers library on the Hugging Face hub. The code is designed for easy modification, and we already support device-specific and external library implementations:

VAD

STT

LLM

TTS

Setup

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/huggingface/speech-to-speech.git
cd speech-to-speech

Install the required dependencies using uv:

uv pip install -r requirements.txt

For Mac users, use the requirements_mac.txt file instead:

uv pip install -r requirements_mac.txt

If you want to use Melo TTS, you also need to run:

python -m unidic download

Usage

The pipeline can be run in two ways:

Recommanded setup

Server/Client Approach

  1. Run the pipeline on the server:

    python s2s_pipeline.py --recv_host 0.0.0.0 --send_host 0.0.0.0

  2. Run the client locally to handle microphone input and receive generated audio:

    python listen_and_play.py --host <IP address of your server>

Local Approach (Mac)

  1. For optimal settings on Mac: 
    python s2s_pipeline.py --local_mac_optimal_settings

This setting:

Docker Server

Install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit

https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html

Start the docker container

docker compose up

Recommended usage with Cuda

Leverage Torch Compile for Whisper and Parler-TTS. The usage of Parler-TTS allows for audio output streaming, futher reducing the overeall latency 🚀:

python s2s_pipeline.py \
	--lm_model_name microsoft/Phi-3-mini-4k-instruct \
	--stt_compile_mode reduce-overhead \
	--tts_compile_mode default \
  --recv_host 0.0.0.0 \
	--send_host 0.0.0.0

For the moment, modes capturing CUDA Graphs are not compatible with streaming Parler-TTS (reduce-overhead, max-autotune).

Multi-language Support

The pipeline currently supports English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
Two use cases are considered:

Please note that you must use STT and LLM checkpoints compatible with the target language(s). For the STT part, Parler-TTS is not yet multilingual (though that feature is coming soon! 🤗). In the meantime, you should use Melo (which supports English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) or Chat-TTS.

With the server version:

For automatic language detection:

python s2s_pipeline.py \
    --stt_model_name large-v3 \
    --language auto \
    --mlx_lm_model_name mlx-community/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \

Or for one language in particular, chinese in this example

python s2s_pipeline.py \
    --stt_model_name large-v3 \
    --language zh \
    --mlx_lm_model_name mlx-community/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct \

Local Mac Setup

For automatic language detection:

python s2s_pipeline.py \
    --local_mac_optimal_settings \
    --device mps \
    --stt_model_name large-v3 \
    --language auto \
    --mlx_lm_model_name mlx-community/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-4bit \

Or for one language in particular, chinese in this example

python s2s_pipeline.py \
    --local_mac_optimal_settings \
    --device mps \
    --stt_model_name large-v3 \
    --language zh \
    --mlx_lm_model_name mlx-community/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-4bit \

Command-line Usage

NOTE: References for all the CLI arguments can be found directly in the arguments classes or by running python s2s_pipeline.py -h.

Module level Parameters

See ModuleArguments class. Allows to set:

VAD parameters

See VADHandlerArguments class. Notably:

STT, LM and TTS parameters

model_name, torch_dtype, and device are exposed for each implementation of the Speech to Text, Language Model, and Text to Speech. Specify the targeted pipeline part with the corresponding prefix (e.g. stt, lm or tts, check the implementations' arguments classes for more details).

For example:

--lm_model_name google/gemma-2b-it

Generation parameters

Other generation parameters of the model's generate method can be set using the part's prefix + _gen_, e.g., --stt_gen_max_new_tokens 128. These parameters can be added to the pipeline part's arguments class if not already exposed.
