Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you want to investigate or run the repository's documented Chinese speech-recognition training workflow using THCHS30.
Who it is for
- Developers exploring or training Chinese speech-recognition models.
- Readers seeking a basic code-based training and testing workflow tied to a speech corpus.
Documented uses
- Prepare project settings for a model-training run.
- Start training with the repository's train.py script.
- Start the repository's test.py script.
Requirements & limits
- The README specifies Python 3.5 and TensorFlow 1.5.0.
- The workflow references the THCHS30 corpus and configuration in conf/conf.ini.
- The README names terminal commands and PyCharm as ways to work with the scripts.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare and start the model training workflow
Set up the documented inputs and configuration, then start training.
Before you start
- Python 3.5
- TensorFlow 1.5.0
- The THCHS30 speech corpus referenced by the README
Steps
Obtain the THCHS30 corpus.
Edit the relevant settings in conf/conf.ini.
Run python train.py from a terminal, or work with the project in PyCharm.
Expected outcome
The repository's training script is started with the configured project settings and referenced corpus.
Guide limitations
- The README does not provide detailed configuration values or a complete dataset preparation procedure.
Run the documented test script
Start the repository's test script after preparing the project and its configuration.
Before you start
- Python 3.5
- TensorFlow 1.5.0
- Project configuration in conf/conf.ini
Steps
Set the relevant project options in conf/conf.ini.
Run python test.py from a terminal, or use PyCharm.
Expected outcome
The repository's test script is started.
Guide limitations
