    A Very Low-Bitrate Codec for Speech Compression

    Very impressive.

    It'd be interesting to see what the lift would be to get encoding & decoding running in webassembly/wasm. Further, it'd be really neat to try to take something like the tflife_model_wrapper[1] and to get it backed by something like tsjs-tflite[2] perhaps even atop for example tfjs-backend-webgpu[3].

    Longer run, the web-nn[4] spec should hopefully simplify/bake-in some of these libraries to the web platform, make running inference much easier. But there's still an interesting challenge & question, that I'm not sure how to tackle; how to take native code, compile it to wasm, but to have some of the implementation provided else-where.

  • Bazel

    a fast, scalable, multi-language and extensible build system

    1. Install numpy (pip3 install numpy)

    2. Download a bazel binary (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases or use package manager)

    3. bazel build -c opt :encoder_main

    4. bazel-bin/encoder_main --input_path=testdata/sample1_16kHz.wav --output_dir=$HOME/temp --bitrate=3200

    Done!
