WeSpeaker mainly focuses on speaker embedding learning, with application to the speaker verification task. We support online feature extraction or loading pre-extracted features in kaldi-format.

Installation

Install python package

pip install git+https://github.com/wenet-e2e/wespeaker.git

Command-line usage (use -h for parameters):

$ wespeaker --task embedding --audio_file audio.wav --output_file embedding.txt
$ wespeaker --task embedding_kaldi --wav_scp wav.scp --output_file /path/to/embedding
$ wespeaker --task similarity --audio_file audio.wav --audio_file2 audio2.wav
$ wespeaker --task diarization --audio_file audio.wav

Python programming usage:

import wespeaker

model = wespeaker.load_model('chinese')
embedding = model.extract_embedding('audio.wav')
utt_names, embeddings = model.extract_embedding_list('wav.scp')
similarity = model.compute_similarity('audio1.wav', 'audio2.wav')
diar_result = model.diarize('audio.wav')

You can set the environment variable WESPEAKER_HOME to specify the path of downloaded pre-trained models. By default it will be $HOME/.wespeaker.

Please refer to python usage for more command line and python programming usage.

Install for development & deployment

• Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/wenet-e2e/wespeaker.git

• Create conda env: pytorch version >= 2.0.0 is recommended !!!

conda create -n wespeaker python=3.9
conda activate wespeaker
pip install torch==2.7.1 torchaudio==2.7.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118 # cuda 11.X
pip install torch==2.7.1 torchaudio==2.7.1 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128 # cuda 12.X
conda install -c conda-forge sox
pip install -r requirements.txt
# visdom (dep of torchnet) needs pkg_resources at build time, bypass pip build isolation to use the existing setuptools
pip install --no-build-isolation torchnet==0.0.4
pre-commit install  # for clean and tidy code
