# Speech2Text2

  <Tip warning={true}>

  This model is in maintenance mode only, we don't accept any new PRs changing its code.
  If you run into any issues running this model, please reinstall the last version that supported this model: v4.40.2.
  You can do so by running the following command: `pip install -U transformers==4.40.2`.

  </Tip>

## Overview

The Speech2Text2 model is used together with [Wav2Vec2](wav2vec2) for Speech Translation models proposed in
[Large-Scale Self- and Semi-Supervised Learning for Speech Translation](https://huggingface.co/papers/2104.06678) by
Changhan Wang, Anne Wu, Juan Pino, Alexei Baevski, Michael Auli, Alexis Conneau.

Speech2Text2 is a *decoder-only* transformer model that can be used with any speech *encoder-only*, such as
[Wav2Vec2](wav2vec2) or [HuBERT](hubert) for Speech-to-Text tasks. Please refer to the
[SpeechEncoderDecoder](speech-encoder-decoder) class on how to combine Speech2Text2 with any speech *encoder-only*
model.

This model was contributed by [Patrick von Platen](https://huggingface.co/patrickvonplaten).

The original code can be found [here](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/blob/1f7ef9ed1e1061f8c7f88f8b94c7186834398690/fairseq/models/wav2vec/wav2vec2_asr.py#L266).

## Usage tips

- Speech2Text2 achieves state-of-the-art results on the CoVoST Speech Translation dataset. For more information, see
  the [official models](https://huggingface.co/models?other=speech2text2) .
- Speech2Text2 is always used within the [SpeechEncoderDecoder](speech-encoder-decoder) framework.
- Speech2Text2's tokenizer is based on [fastBPE](https://github.com/glample/fastBPE).

## Inference

Speech2Text2's [`SpeechEncoderDecoderModel`] model accepts raw waveform input values from speech and
makes use of [`~generation.GenerationMixin.generate`] to translate the input speech
autoregressively to the target language.

The [`Wav2Vec2FeatureExtractor`] class is responsible for preprocessing the input speech and
[`Speech2Text2Tokenizer`] decodes the generated target tokens to the target string. The
[`Speech2Text2Processor`] wraps [`Wav2Vec2FeatureExtractor`] and
[`Speech2Text2Tokenizer`] into a single instance to both extract the input features and decode the
predicted token ids.

- Step-by-step Speech Translation

```python
>>> from transformers import Speech2Text2Processor, SpeechEncoderDecoderModel
>>> from datasets import load_dataset

>>> model = SpeechEncoderDecoderModel.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-wav2vec2-large-en-de")
>>> processor = Speech2Text2Processor.from_pretrained("facebook/s2t-wav2vec2-large-en-de")


>>> def map_to_array(example):
...     example["speech"] = example["audio"]["array"]
...     return example


>>> ds = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation")
>>> ds = ds.map(map_to_array)

>>> inputs = processor(ds["speech"][0], sampling_rate=16_000, return_tensors="pt")
>>> generated_ids = model.generate(inputs=inputs["input_values"], attention_mask=inputs["attention_mask"])

>>> transcription = processor.batch_decode(generated_ids)
```

- Speech Translation via Pipelines

  The automatic speech recognition pipeline can also be used to translate speech in just a couple lines of code

```python
>>> from datasets import load_dataset
>>> from transformers import pipeline

>>> librispeech_en = load_dataset("hf-internal-testing/librispeech_asr_dummy", "clean", split="validation")
>>> asr = pipeline(
...     "automatic-speech-recognition",
...     model="facebook/s2t-wav2vec2-large-en-de",
...     feature_extractor="facebook/s2t-wav2vec2-large-en-de",
... )

>>> translation_de = asr(librispeech_en[0]["file"])
```
