Installation

The models were developed using fairseq2, a research-focused sequence modeling toolkit. While we provide a reference inference pipeline that works across platforms, audio support requires libsndfile (Mac: brew install libsndfile; Windows may need an additional setup).

bash

# using pip
pip install omnilingual-asr

# using uv
uv add omnilingual-asr

Inference

python

from omnilingual_asr.models.inference.pipeline import ASRInferencePipeline

pipeline = ASRInferencePipeline(model_card="omniASR_LLM_7B")

audio_files = ["/path/to/eng_audio1.flac", "/path/to/deu_audio2.wav"]
lang = ["eng_Latn", "deu_Latn"]
transcriptions = pipeline.transcribe(audio_files, lang=lang, batch_size=2)

Supported Languages

To view the full list of 1600+ supported languages, you can access the language list programmatically:

python

from omnilingual_asr.models.wav2vec2_llama.lang_ids import supported_langs

# Print all supported languages
print(f"Total supported languages: {len(supported_langs)}")
print(supported_langs)

# Check if a specific language is supported
if "eng_Latn" in supported_langs:
    print("English (Latin script) is supported!")

Languages follow the format {language_code}_{script}, for example eng_Latn - English (Latin script), cmn_Hans - Mandarin Chinese (Simplified), ...
