Practical overview
When it fits
Use T One when the task is Russian speech recognition, especially for telephony audio, and a local demo or Python-based model pipeline fits the workflow.
Who it is for
- Developers integrating Russian speech-to-text into telephony systems.
- Teams evaluating a local browser demo for Russian audio-file or microphone transcription.
- Python practitioners who need offline or streaming Russian speech-recognition components.
Documented uses
- Transcribe Russian speech from audio files.
- Recognize Russian speech from a microphone as a stream.
- Process speech in chunks while preserving acoustic context across chunk boundaries.
- Separate detected phrases and decode them into text.
- Explore serving the acoustic model through TensorRT and Triton Inference Server.
Requirements & limits
The project is open source, and its README links an Apache 2.0 license. The Docker demo runs locally; the documented Python setup uses Python 3.9 or later, with Poetry 2.1 or newer recommended.
- The model is specialized for Russian and telephony rather than presented as a general multilingual recognizer.
- Streaming inference processes 300-millisecond chunks and carries acoustic hidden state between them.
- Decoding options include greedy decoding and KenLM-based CTC beam search.
- The repository documents multiple deployment paths: a Docker demo, Python inference, and TensorRT export for Triton Inference Server.
- KenLM's lack of official Windows support makes Docker or WSL the recommended Windows route.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Run the Docker demo for Russian transcription
Start T One's browser-based demo to transcribe an audio file or try microphone streaming locally.
Before you start
- Docker
- A computer with at least 4 CPU cores and 8 GB RAM is recommended for smooth performance.
Steps
Run the command below.
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 tinkoffcreditsystems/t-one:0.1.0Open
http://localhost:8080in a browser.Provide a Russian speech audio file in WAV, MP3, FLAC or OGG format, or use the microphone for streaming recognition.
Expected outcome
A local web demo for Russian audio-file transcription and microphone-based streaming recognition.
Guide limitations
- The demo is intended for Russian speech.
- The listed hardware is a recommendation for smooth performance, not a stated minimum.
Run offline recognition with the Python package
Use the documented Python interface to transcribe Russian audio offline.
Before you start
- Python 3.9 or later
- Poetry 2.1 or newer is recommended
- Linux or macOS is documented; Docker or Windows Subsystem for Linux is recommended on Windows because KenLM lacks official Windows support.
- A Russian speech audio file in WAV, MP3, FLAC or OGG format, or the repository's example audio.
Steps
Install the package and demo dependencies in an activated environment with
poetry install -E demo.Load audio with
read_example_audio()orread_audio("your_audio.flac").Create the pipeline with
StreamingCTCPipeline.from_hugging_face()and pass the audio topipeline.forward_offline(audio).
Expected outcome
The Python pipeline returns an offline transcription for the supplied Russian audio.
Guide limitations
- The README's Windows guidance recommends a container or WSL because of KenLM dependency support.
- The documented example uses offline inference; streaming application usage is covered separately in the repository's advanced example.
