mlx-audio: High-Performance Speech Processing (TTS, STT, STS) on Apple Silicon
An efficient open-source library built on Apple MLX for accelerating Text-to-Speech, Speech-to-Text, and Speech-to-Speech tasks directly on Apple Silicon hardware.
Project Introduction
Summary
mlx-audio is a specialized library built on Apple's MLX framework, offering high-performance Text-to-Speech, Speech-to-Text, and Speech-to-Speech capabilities directly on Apple Silicon devices. It aims to provide developers and researchers with an efficient tool for local speech processing tasks.
Problem Solved
Traditional speech processing libraries often lack native optimization for Apple Silicon, leading to suboptimal performance or reliance on cloud services. mlx-audio provides an efficient, on-device solution by utilizing the MLX framework.
Core Features
Text-to-Speech (TTS)
Convert text input into natural-sounding speech.
Speech-to-Text (STT)
Transcribe spoken language from audio input into text.
Speech-to-Speech (STS)
Transform speech from one form to another, such as voice conversion.
MLX-Powered Performance
Leverages Apple's MLX framework for native acceleration on Apple Silicon.
Optimized for Apple Silicon
Designed for low-latency and efficient on-device processing.
Tech Stack
Use Cases
mlx-audio is suitable for a variety of applications where efficient, on-device speech processing is required, especially on Apple Silicon hardware.
