FunASR Chinese Recognition:
FunASR is a set of speech recognition models open-sourced by Alibaba. It performs better than the whisper series in Chinese speech scenarios. The video translation software has supported its use through HTTP calls through the zh_recogn and SenseVoice projects. You only need to deploy the corresponding zh_recogn and SenseVoice integrated packages. After starting, fill in the API address in the video translation to use it.
However, many users are still confused about this operation. Therefore, starting from version v2.97, this function has been integrated into the video translation software, that is, there is no need to deploy and start the zh_recogn and SenseVoice projects separately, and you can use it directly by selecting FunASR Chinese Recognition in the software.
Select FunASR Chinese in Speech Recognition
