TorongoXetu - Assamese ASR Model

torongoXetu-asr is an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) model built specifically for the Assamese language. Built on the NVIDIA NeMo framework with a Conformer architecture, it delivers Speech-to-Text transcription for Assamese audio.

A lightweight Python library torongoxetu is included for inference.

Usage

Quick Test

Run the included test script to verify everything works:

python inference.py

This transcribes the sample test.wav file and prints the Assamese text from the audio.

Python API

from torongoxetu import TorongoModel

# Load model
model = TorongoModel("torongoXetu-asr.nemo")

# Single file transcription
text = model.transcribe("audio.wav")
print(text)

# Batch transcription
texts = model.transcribe(["file1.wav", "file2.wav"], batch_size=4)
print(texts)

Web Demo (Local)

Launch the interactive web interface:

python app.py

Open the URL shown in terminal ( http://127.0.0.1:7860). You can upload audio files, record directly, or try the included samples.
