audioseal-GGUF

AudioSeal (GGUF)

GGUF conversion of AudioSeal (audioseal_wm_16bits generator + audioseal_detector_16bits detector) for use as the optional neural audio-watermarking backend in CrispASR.

AudioSeal is a proactive, localized watermarking method for AI-generated speech: an imperceptible watermark is embedded at synthesis time and recovered by a fast detector, robust to common audio edits (re-encoding, compression, resampling).

Contents

Sample rate 16 kHz, 16-bit message payload.

Usage (CrispASR)

# Opt in to the neural watermark (otherwise CrispASR uses its built-in
# zero-dependency spread-spectrum watermark):
crispasr --backend <tts-backend> -m auto --tts "..." \
    --watermark-model auto            # auto-downloads this GGUF

# Detect:
crispasr --detect-watermark out.wav --watermark-model auto
