Model reference · open weights
mms-1130-forced-aligner is an open-weight audio or speech model from MahmoudAshraf, listed in the AxForge catalogue. AxForge can bring it up on EU-owned hardware for you on request — with the licence handled where one is required.
About
Forced Alignment with Hugging Face CTC Models This Python package provides an efficient way to perform forced alignment between text and audio using Hugging Face's pretrained models. it also features an improved implementation to use much less memory than TorchAudio forced alignment API. The model checkpoint uploaded here is a conversion from torchaudio to HF Transformers for the MMS-300M checkpoint trained on forced alignment dataset Installation Usage
Summarised from the published model card. Read the full card on the HuggingFace links below.

Using it via the API
Once AxForge deploys mms-1130-forced-aligner for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (mms-1130-forced-aligner below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)
$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/audio/transcriptions \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \ -F model="mms-1130-forced-aligner" -F file=@audio.mp3

Licence
The weights are open but cc-by-nc-4.0 needs a commercial agreement for business use. AxForge can arrange that licence and host the model for you — you pay AxForge, we settle with the model’s maker. Ask us for a quote. Read the licence ↗
