Voice Memory for Agentic Speech Recognition
Chao-Han Huck Yang, Zih-Ching Chen, Piotr Zelasko +3
We present Voice Memory, a inference-only scheme for agentic speech recognition: at stream time, a frozen corrector reads a single per-domain memory.md and decides per utterance wh…
Preference-ASR: A Preference-Aware Test Set for Benchmarking ASR in the Era of Speech LLMs
Nithin Rao Koluguri, Sasha Meister, Nikolay Karpov +4
Popular ASR test sets adopt inconsistent conventions for numbers, disfluencies, entities, and casing, while standard normalizers erase the format distinctions users care about. Cur…
Canary-1B-v2 & Parakeet-TDT-0.6B-v3: Efficient and High-Performance Models for Multilingual ASR and AST
Monica Sekoyan, Nithin Rao Koluguri, Nune Tadevosyan +5
This report introduces Canary-1B-v2, a fast, robust multilingual model for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Speech-to-Text Translation (AST). Built with a FastConformer encod…
Word Level Timestamp Generation for Automatic Speech Recognition and Translation
Ke Hu, Krishna Puvvada, Elena Rastorgueva +7
We introduce a data-driven approach for enabling word-level timestamp prediction in the Canary model. Accurate timestamp information is crucial for a variety of downstream tasks su…
Granary: Speech Recognition and Translation Dataset in 25 European Languages
Nithin Rao Koluguri, Monica Sekoyan, George Zelenfroynd +12
Multi-task and multilingual approaches benefit large models, yet speech processing for low-resource languages remains underexplored due to data scarcity. To address this, we presen…
SALM-Duplex: Efficient and Direct Duplex Modeling for Speech-to-Speech Language Model
Ke Hu, Ehsan Hosseini-Asl, Chen Chen +7
Spoken dialogue is an intuitive form of human-computer interaction, yet current speech language models often remain constrained to turn-based exchanges, lacking real-time adaptabil…
