About

What mms-1130-forced-aligner is

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

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

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" \

Licence

Commercial licence needed

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 ↗
