FireRedASR2S is a state-of-the-art (SOTA), industrial-grade, all-in-one ASR system with ASR, VAD, LID, and Punc modules. All modules achieve SOTA performance:
- **FireRedASR2**: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) supporting Chinese (Mandarin, 20+ dialects/accents), English, code-switching, and singing lyrics recognition. 2.89% average CER on Mandarin (4 test sets), 11.55% on Chinese dialects (19 test sets), outperforming Doubao-ASR, Qwen3-ASR-1.7B, Fun-ASR, and Fun-ASR-Nano-2512. FireRedASR2-AED also supports word-level timestamps and confidence scores.
- **FireRedVAD**: Voice Activity Detection (VAD) supporting speech/singing/music in 100+ languages. 97.57% F1, outperforming Silero-VAD, TEN-VAD, and FunASR-VAD. Supports non-streaming/streaming VAD and Audio Event Detection.
- **FireRedLID**: Spoken Language Identification (LID) supporting 100+ languages and 20+ Chinese dialects/accents. 97.18% accuracy, outperforming Whisper and SpeechBrain-LID.
- **FireRedPunc**: Punctuation Prediction (Punc) for Chinese and English. 78.90% average F1, outperforming FunASR-Punc (62.77%).

*`2S`: `2`nd-generation FireRedASR, now expanded to an all-in-one ASR `S`ystem*

## Method
### FireRedASR2
FireRedASR2 builds upon [FireRedASR](https://github.com/FireRedTeam/FireRedASR) with improved accuracy, designed to meet diverse requirements in superior performance and optimal efficiency across various applications. It comprises two variants:
- **FireRedASR2-LLM**: Designed to achieve state-of-the-art performance and to enable seamless end-to-end speech interaction. It adopts an Encoder-Adapter-LLM framework leveraging large language model (LLM) capabilities.
- **FireRedASR2-AED**: Designed to balance high performance and computational efficiency and to serve as an effective speech representation module in LLM-based speech models. It utilizes an Attention-based Encoder-Decoder (AED) architecture.


### Other Modules
- **FireRedVAD**: DFSMN-based non-streaming/streaming Voice Activity Detection and Audio Event Detection.
- **FireRedLID**: FireRedASR2-based Spoken Language Identification. See [FireRedLID README](./fireredasr2s/fireredlid/README.md) for language details.
- **FireRedPunc**: BERT-based Punctuation Prediction.


## Evaluation
### FireRedASR2
Metrics: Character Error Rate (CER%) for Chinese and Word Error Rate (WER%) for English. Lower is better.

We evaluate FireRedASR2 on 24 public test sets covering Mandarin, 20+ Chinese dialects/accents, and singing.

- **Mandarin (4 test sets)**: 2.89% (LLM) / 3.05% (AED) average CER, outperforming Doubao-ASR (3.69%), Qwen3-ASR-1.7B (3.76%), Fun-ASR (4.16%) and Fun-ASR-Nano-2512 (4.55%).
- **Dialects (19 test sets)**: 11.55% (LLM) / 11.67% (AED) average CER, outperforming Doubao-ASR (15.39%), Qwen3-ASR-1.7B (11.85%), Fun-ASR (12.76%) and Fun-ASR-Nano-2512 (15.07%).

### FireRedVAD
We evaluate FireRedVAD on FLEURS-VAD-102, a multilingual VAD benchmark covering 102 languages.

FireRedVAD achieves SOTA performance, outperforming Silero-VAD, TEN-VAD, FunASR-VAD, and WebRTC-VAD.

|Metric\Model|FireRedVAD|[Silero-VAD](https://github.com/snakers4/silero-vad)|[TEN-VAD](https://github.com/TEN-framework/ten-vad)|[FunASR-VAD](https://modelscope.cn/models/iic/speech_fsmn_vad_zh-cn-16k-common-pytorch)|[WebRTC-VAD](https://github.com/wiseman/py-webrtcvad)|
|:-------:|:-----:|:------:|:------:|:------:|:------:|
|AUC-ROC↑  |**99.60**|97.99|97.81|-    |-    |
|F1 score↑ |**97.57**|95.95|95.19|90.91|52.30|
|False Alarm Rate↓  |**2.69** |9.41 |15.47|44.03|2.83 |
|Miss Rate↓|3.62     |3.95 |2.95 |0.42 |64.15|

<sup>*</sup>FLEURS-VAD-102: We randomly selected ~100 audio files per language from [FLEURS test set](https://huggingface.co/datasets/google/fleurs), resulting in 9,443 audio files with manually annotated binary VAD labels (speech=1, silence=0). This VAD testset will be open sourced (coming soon).

Note: FunASR-VAD achieves low Miss Rate but at the cost of high False Alarm Rate (44.03%), indicating over-prediction of speech segments.


### FireRedLID
Metric: Utterance-level LID Accuracy (%). Higher is better.

We evaluate FireRedLID on multilingual and Chinese dialect benchmarks.

FireRedLID achieves SOTA performance, outperforming Whisper, SpeechBrain-LID, and Dolphin.

|KeSpeech + MagicData|20+ Chinese dialects/accents |**88.47**     |-|-|69.01|


### FireRedPunc
Metric: Precision/Recall/F1 Score (%). Higher is better.

We evaluate FireRedPunc on multi-domain Chinese and English benchmarks.

FireRedPunc achieves SOTA performance, outperforming FunASR-Punc (CT-Transformer).

|Testset\Model|#Sentences|FireRedPunc|[FunASR-Punc](https://www.modelscope.cn/models/iic/punc_ct-transformer_zh-cn-common-vocab272727-pytorch)|
|:------------------:|:---------:|:--------------:|:-----------------:|
|Multi-domain Chinese| 88,644    |**82.84 / 83.08 / 82.96** | 77.27 / 74.03 / 75.62 |
|Multi-domain English| 28,641    |**78.40 / 71.57 / 74.83** | 55.79 / 45.15 / 49.91 |
|Average F1 Score    | -         |**78.90** | 62.77 |

## Usage of Each Module
The four components under `fireredasr2s`, i.e. `fireredasr2`, `fireredvad`, `fireredlid`, and `fireredpunc` are self-contained and designed to work as a standalone modules. You can use any of them independently without depending on the others. `FireRedVAD` and `FireRedLID` will also be open-sourced as standalone libraries in separate repositories.

## FAQ
**Q: What audio format is supported?**

16kHz 16-bit mono PCM wav. Use ffmpeg to convert other formats: `ffmpeg -i <input_audio_path> -ar 16000 -ac 1 -acodec pcm_s16le -f wav <output_wav_path>`

**Q: What are the input length limitations of ASR models?**

- FireRedASR2-AED supports audio input up to 60s. Input longer than 60s may cause hallucination issues, and input exceeding 200s will trigger positional encoding errors.
- FireRedASR2-LLM supports audio input up to 30s. The behavior for longer input is untested.
