+
+Moonshine is a family of speech-to-text models optimized for fast and accurate automatic speech recognition (ASR) on resource-constrained devices. It is well-suited to real-time, on-device applications like live transcription and voice command recognition. Moonshine obtains word-error rates (WER) better than similarly-sized Whisper models from OpenAI on the datasets used in the [OpenASR leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/hf-audio/open_asr_leaderboard) maintained by HuggingFace:
+

+
+Moonshine's compute requirements scale with the length of input audio. This means that shorter input audio is processed faster, unlike existing Whisper models that process everything as 30-second chunks. To give you an idea of the benefits: Moonshine processes 10-second audio segments _5x faster_ than Whisper while maintaining the same (or better!) WER.
+
+This repo hosts the inference code for Moonshine.
+
+## Installation
+
+We like `uv` for managing Python environments, so we use it here. If you don't want to use it, simply skip the first step and leave `uv` off of your shell commands.
+
+### 1. Create a virtual environment
+
+First, [install](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) `uv` for Python environment management.
+
+Then create and activate a virtual environment:
+
+```shell
+uv venv env_moonshine
+source env_moonshine/bin/activate
+```
+
+### 2. Install the Moonshine package
+
+The `moonshine` inference code is written in Keras and can run with each of the backends that Keras supports: Torch, TensorFlow, and JAX. The backend you choose will determine which flavor of the `moonshine` package to install. If you're just getting started, we suggest installing the (default) Torch backend:
+
+```shell
+uv pip install useful-moonshine@git+https://github.com/usefulsensors/moonshine.git
+```
+
+To run the provided inference code, you have to instruct Keras to use the PyTorch backend by setting an environment variable:
+
+```shell
+export KERAS_BACKEND=torch
+```
+
+To run with the TensorFlow backend, run the following to install Moonshine and set the environment variable:
+
+```shell
+uv pip install useful-moonshine[tensorflow]@git+https://github.com/usefulsensors/moonshine.git
+export KERAS_BACKEND=tensorflow
+```
+
+  To run with the JAX backend, run the following:
+
+```shell
+uv pip install useful-moonshine[jax]@git+https://github.com/usefulsensors/moonshine.git
+export KERAS_BACKEND=jax
+# Use useful-moonshine[jax-cuda] for jax on GPU
+```
+
+### 3. Try it out
+
+You can test Moonshine by transcribing the provided example audio file with the `.transcribe` function:
+
+```shell
+python
+>>> import moonshine
+>>> moonshine.transcribe(moonshine.ASSETS_DIR / 'beckett.wav', 'moonshine/tiny')
+['Ever tried ever failed, no matter try again, fail again, fail better.']
+```
+
+The first argument is a path to an audio file and the second is the name of a Moonshine model. `moonshine/tiny` and `moonshine/base` are the currently available models.
+
+## Building and Running the Android App
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Android Studio installed on your machine.
+- Android device or emulator for testing.
+
+### Steps
+
+1. Open Android Studio and select "Open an existing Android Studio project".
+2. Navigate to the `android` directory in this repository and open it.
+3. Let Android Studio download any necessary dependencies.
+4. Connect your Android device or start an emulator.
+5. Click on the "Run" button in Android Studio to build and run the app on your device/emulator.
+
+The app allows you to pick audio or video files from your device and transcribe them to text. The transcriptions can be saved in md/txt/json formats.
+
+### GitHub Action for Building APKs
+
+A GitHub Action is set up to build an APK for each commit on any branch. The workflow file is located at `.github/workflows/android.yml`. This ensures that a working APK is built automatically for every commit.
+
+## Local Model Testing (Win/Mac/WSL)
+
+To test the model locally on your machine, follow the steps mentioned in the "Installation" section above. Ensure that you have the necessary dependencies installed and the environment variables set correctly.
