As artificial intelligence continues to power through advanced research, usage, and implementation, the tech is starting to spread into areas previously untapped by AI—specifically, audio processing. Meta, the innovative information-processing AI platform, today announced the launch of AudioCraft, an open-source library of tools designed to simplify the development and implementation of speech recognition and audio processing algorithms.
AudioCraft comprises a set of libraries, samples, and tutorials that together allow developers to quickly grasp the complex science behind audio recognition and machine learning. This allows developers to build audio applications such as noise removal and active noise cancellation, as well as music that can help users to detect and react to the surrounding environment with more speed and accuracy.
The AudioCraft framework is available on Github, allowing developers to download and use the available tools. With AudioCraft, developers can also create their own audio processing algorithms or quickly prototype an idea—or even take one of the existing libraries and customize it to fit their needs. The open-sourcenature of AudioCraft enables quick iteration, testing, and modification of ideas in the field of audio recognition.
AudioCraft is designed to help developers create applications, including audio search engines, music recommendation systems, real-time sound analysis, audio transcription and much more. The open-source library enables broad access to Meta’s tools, and allows users to start building applications in the audio processing and speech recognition space without needing to invest in expensive hardware or software.
Meta is making sure that AudioCraft is applicable to developers no matter their current level of skill or familiarity with audio recognition and processing. Tutorials and guides have been created to ease users into the library and quickly get them up to speed. Meta has also created a number of examples that serve as starting points for users to begin creating their own audio processing applications.
Meta’s goal is to offer incredible value to developers, and their launch of AudioCraft open source AI audio tools embodies this aim. With the AudioCraft toolkit, developers have now been given the potential to create amazing audio processing projects.
