wav2letter++ is a fast open source speech processing toolkit from the Speech Team at Facebook AI Research. It is written entirely in C++ and uses the ArrayFire tensor library and the flashlight machine learning library for maximum efficiency. Our approach is detailed in this arXiv paper.
The goal of this software is to facilitate research in end-to-end models for speech recognition.
The previous version of wav2letter (written in Lua) can be found in the "wav2letter-lua" branch under the repository.
See Building Instructions for details.

We also provide complete recipes for WSJ, Timit and Librispeech and they can be found in recipes folder.
