SeamlessM4T models currently support five tasks:
- Speech-to-speech translation (S2ST)
- Speech-to-text translation (S2TT)
- Text-to-speech translation (T2ST)
- Text-to-text translation (T2TT)
- Automatic speech recognition (ASR)
Inference is run with the CLI, from the root directory of the repository.
The model can be specified with --model_name seamlessM4T_large or seamlessM4T_medium:
S2ST:
m4t_predict <path_to_input_audio> s2st <tgt_lang> --output_path <path_to_save_audio> --model_name seamlessM4T_largeS2TT:
m4t_predict <path_to_input_audio> s2tt <tgt_lang>T2TT:
m4t_predict <input_text> t2tt <tgt_lang> --src_lang <src_lang>T2ST:
m4t_predict <input_text> t2st <tgt_lang> --src_lang <src_lang> --output_path <path_to_save_audio>ASR:
m4t_predict <path_to_input_audio> asr <tgt_lang>Note that it takes 16kHz audio now. Here's how you could resample your audio:
import torchaudio
resample_rate = 16000
waveform, sample_rate = torchaudio.load(<path_to_input_audio>)
resampler = torchaudio.transforms.Resample(sample_rate, resample_rate, dtype=waveform.dtype)
resampled_waveform = resampler(waveform)
torchaudio.save(<path_to_resampled_audio>, resampled_waveform, resample_rate)Inference calls for the Translator object instantiated with a multitask UnitY model with the options:
and a vocoder vocoder_36langs
import torch
import torchaudio
from seamless_communication.models.inference import Translator
# Initialize a Translator object with a multitask model, vocoder on the GPU.
translator = Translator("seamlessM4T_large", "vocoder_36langs", torch.device("cuda:0"), torch.float16)Now predict() can be used to run inference as many times on any of the supported tasks.
Given an input audio with <path_to_input_audio> or an input text <input_text> in <src_lang>,
we can translate into <tgt_lang> as follows:
# S2ST
translated_text, wav, sr = translator.predict(<path_to_input_audio>, "s2st", <tgt_lang>)
# T2ST
translated_text, wav, sr = translator.predict(<input_text>, "t2st", <tgt_lang>, src_lang=<src_lang>)Note that <src_lang> must be specified for T2ST.
The generated units are synthesized and the output audio file is saved with:
wav, sr = translator.synthesize_speech(<speech_units>, <tgt_lang>)
# Save the translated audio generation.
torchaudio.save(
<path_to_save_audio>,
wav[0].cpu(),
sample_rate=sr,
)# S2TT
translated_text, _, _ = translator.predict(<path_to_input_audio>, "s2tt", <tgt_lang>)
# ASR
# This is equivalent to S2TT with `<tgt_lang>=<src_lang>`.
transcribed_text, _, _ = translator.predict(<path_to_input_audio>, "asr", <src_lang>)
# T2TT
translated_text, _, _ = translator.predict(<input_text>, "t2tt", <tgt_lang>, src_lang=<src_lang>)Note that <src_lang> must be specified for T2TT
Listed below, are the languages supported by SeamlessM4T models.
The source column specifies whether a language is supported as source speech (Sp) and/or source text (Tx).
The target column specifies whether a language is supported as target speech (Sp) and/or target text (Tx).
