About

What wav2vec2-da-ft-nst is

This the alvenir wav2vec2 model for Danish ASR finetuned by Alvenir on the public NST dataset. The model is trained on 16kHz, so make sure your data is the same sample rate.

The model was trained using fairseq and then converted to huggingface/transformers format.

Alvenir is always happy to help with your own open-source ASR projects, customized domain specializations or premium models. ;-)

Usage

import soundfile as sf
import torch

from transformers import Wav2Vec2CTCTokenizer, Wav2Vec2Tokenizer, Wav2Vec2Processor, \
    Wav2Vec2ForCTC

def get_tokenizer(model_path: str) -> Wav2Vec2CTCTokenizer:
    return Wav2Vec2Tokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)

def get_processor(model_path: str) -> Wav2Vec2Processor:
    return Wav2Vec2Processor.from_pretrained(model_path)

def load_model(model_path: str) -> Wav2Vec2ForCTC:
    return Wav2Vec2ForCTC.from_pretrained(model_path)

model_id = "Alvenir/wav2vec2-base-da-ft-nst"

model = load_model(model_id)
model.eval()
tokenizer = get_tokenizer(model_id)
processor = get_processor(model_id)

audio_file = ""

audio, _ = sf.read(audio_file)

input_values = processor(audio, return_tensors="pt", padding="longest", sampling_rate=16_000).input_values
with torch.no_grad():
    logits = model(input_values).logits

predicted_ids = torch.argmax(logits, dim=-1)
transcription = processor.batch_decode(predicted_ids)
print(transcription)

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys wav2vec2-da-ft-nst for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (wav2vec2-da-ft-nst 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="wav2vec2-da-ft-nst" -F file=@audio.mp3
