VibeVoice-ASR

Hugging Face Live Playground

VibeVoice-ASR is a unified speech-to-text model designed to handle 60-minute long-form audio in a single pass, generating structured transcriptions containing Who (Speaker), When (Timestamps), and What (Content), with support for Customized Hotwords.

Model: VibeVoice-ASR-7B
Demo: VibeVoice-ASR-Demo

🔥 Key Features

  • 🕒 60-minute Single-Pass Processing: Unlike conventional ASR models that slice audio into short chunks (often losing global context), VibeVoice ASR accepts up to 60 minutes of continuous audio input within 64K token length. This ensures consistent speaker tracking and semantic coherence across the entire hour.

  • 👤 Customized Hotwords: Users can provide customized hotwords (e.g., specific names, technical terms, or background info) to guide the recognition process, significantly improving accuracy on domain-specific content.

  • 📝 Rich Transcription (Who, When, What): The model jointly performs ASR, diarization, and timestamping, producing a structured output that indicates who said what and when.

Installation

We recommend to use NVIDIA Deep Learning Container to manage the CUDA environment.

  1. Launch docker
# NVIDIA PyTorch Container 24.07 ~ 25.12 verified. 
# Previous versions are also compatible.
sudo docker run --privileged --net=host --ipc=host --ulimit memlock=-1:-1 --ulimit stack=-1:-1 --gpus all --rm -it  nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:25.12-py3

## If flash attention is not included in your docker environment, you need to install it manually
## Refer to https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention for installation instructions
# pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation
  1. Install from github
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/VibeVoice.git
cd VibeVoice
pip install -e .[asr]

Usages

Usage 1: Launch Gradio demo

apt update && apt install ffmpeg -y # for demo

python demo/vibevoice_asr_gradio_demo.py --model_path microsoft/VibeVoice-ASR --share

Usage 2: Inference from files directly

python demo/vibevoice_asr_inference_from_file.py --model_path microsoft/VibeVoice-ASR --audio_files [add a audio path here]
