# VoiceRestore: Flow-Matching Transformers for Speech Recording Quality Restoration
VoiceRestore is a cutting-edge speech restoration model designed to significantly enhance the quality of degraded voice recordings. Leveraging flow-matching transformers, this model excels at addressing a wide range of audio imperfections commonly found in speech, including background noise, reverberation, distortion, and signal loss.
It is based on this [repo](https://github.com/skirdey/voicerestore) & demo of audio restorations: [VoiceRestore](https://sparkling-rabanadas-3082be.netlify.app/)
## Usage - using Transformers 🤗
``` bash
!git lfs install
!git clone https://huggingface.co/jadechoghari/VoiceRestore
%cd VoiceRestore
!pip install -r requirements.txt
```
``` python
from transformers import AutoModel
# path to the model folder (on colab it's as follows)
checkpoint_path = "/content/VoiceRestore"
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(checkpoint_path, trust_remote_code=True)
model("test_input.wav", "test_output.wav")
#add short=False if audio is > 10 seconds
model("long.mp3", "long_output.mp3", short=False)
```
## Example
### Degraded Input:
### Degraded Input Audio
<audio controls>
<source src="https://huggingface.co/jadechoghari/VoiceRestore/resolve/main/test_input.wav" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>

### Restored (steps=32, cfg=1.0):
<audio controls>
<source src="https://huggingface.co/jadechoghari/VoiceRestore/resolve/main/test_output.wav" type="audio/mpeg">

## Key Features
- **Universal Restoration**: The model can handle any level and type of voice recording degradation. Pure magic.
- **Easy to Use**: Simple interface for processing degraded audio files.
- **Pretrained Model**: Includes a 301 million parameter transformer model with pre-trained weights. (Model is still in the process of training, there will be further checkpoint updates)
---
## Model Details
- **Architecture**: Flow-matching transformer
- **Parameters**: 300M+ parameters
- **Input**: Degraded speech audio (various formats supported)
- **Output**: Restored speech
## Limitations and Future Work
- Current model is optimized for speech; may not perform optimally on music or other audio types.
- Ongoing research to improve performance on extreme degradations.
- Future updates may include real-time processing capabilities.
