German speech-to-text model. ONNX export of neongeckocom/stt_de_citrinet_512_gamma_0_25 — an NVIDIA NeMo Citrinet CTC model — for onnx-asr. Runs offline with ONNX Runtime; PyTorch and NeMo are not required.

Part of the OpenVoiceOS STT/ASR ONNX collection.

Files

File	Purpose
`model.onnx`	Encoder + CTC head, fp32
`vocab.txt`	Token vocabulary (`<token> <id>` per line, `▁` = space, `<blk>` = CTC blank)
`config.json`	onnx-asr metadata: `model_type: nemo-conformer-ctc`, `features_size: 80`, `subsampling_factor: 8`

There is no int8 variant: these architectures are convolution-dominated, and dynamic quantization produces ConvInteger nodes that ONNX Runtime cannot execute on CPU. int8 requires static QDQ quantization with calibration data.

Usage

With onnx-asr (pip install onnx-asr[cpu,hub]):

python

import onnx_asr

model = onnx_asr.load_model("OpenVoiceOS/neongeckocom-stt_de_citrinet_512_gamma_0_25_onnx")
print(model.recognize("speech.wav"))  # 16 kHz PCM wav

With OpenVoiceOS, through ovos-stt-plugin-onnx-asr (mycroft.conf):

json

{
  "stt": {
    "module": "ovos-stt-plugin-onnx-asr",
    "ovos-stt-plugin-onnx-asr": {
      "model": "OpenVoiceOS/neongeckocom-stt_de_citrinet_512_gamma_0_25_onnx"
    }
  }
}

Export and verification

Exported from the original checkpoint with NeMo's model.export() (see the conversion guide). The subsampling_factor was measured empirically on the exported graph, and the export was verified differentially: the ONNX model and the original NeMo checkpoint produce identical transcriptions on a reference clip.

Accuracy, training data and limitations

See the source model card for benchmark results, training corpora and known limitations. This repo changes the runtime, not the weights.
