Zipformer: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices

Zipformer streaming ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) model is a state-of-the-art system designed for transcribing spoken language into written text streamingly. This model is based on the transformer architecture and has been optimized for edge inference by replacing linear layers with convolutional (conv) layers. It exhibits robust performance in realistic, noisy environments, making it highly reliable for real-world applications. Specifically, it excels in long-form transcription, capable of accurately transcribing audios. Time to the first token is the encoder's latency, while time to each additional token is joiner's latency, where we assume a max decoded length specified below.

This is based on the implementation of Zipformer found here. This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.

Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. Sign up to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.
