A gentle introduction to audio applications</span></h1> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-vj6e2">Welcome to the second unit of the Hugging Face audio course! Previously, we explored the fundamentals of audio data
and learned how to work with audio datasets using the 🤗 Datasets and 🤗 Transformers libraries. We discussed various
concepts such as sampling rate, amplitude, bit depth, waveform, and spectrograms, and saw how to preprocess data to
prepare it for a pre-trained model.</p> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-qbuu6d">At this point you may be eager to learn about the audio tasks that 🤗 Transformers can handle, and you have all the foundational
knowledge necessary to dive in! Let’s take a look at some of the mind-blowing audio task examples:</p> <ul data-svelte-h="svelte-1bxzjf0"><li><strong>Audio classification</strong>: easily categorize audio clips into different categories. You can identify whether a recording
is of a barking dog or a meowing cat, or what music genre a song belongs to.</li> <li><strong>Automatic speech recognition</strong>: transform audio clips into text by transcribing them automatically. You can get a text
representation of a recording of someone speaking, like “How are you doing today?“. Rather useful for note taking!</li> <li><strong>Speaker diarization</strong>: Ever wondered who’s speaking in a recording? With 🤗 Transformers, you can identify which speaker
is talking at any given time in an audio clip. Imagine being able to differentiate between “Alice” and “Bob” in a recording
of them having a conversation.</li> <li><strong>Text to speech</strong>: create a narrated version of a text that can be used to produce an audio book, help with accessibility,
or give a voice to an NPC in a game. With 🤗 Transformers, you can easily do that!</li></ul> <p data-svelte-h="svelte-r8m8hy">In this unit, you’ll learn how to use pre-trained models for some of these tasks using the <code>pipeline()</code> function from 🤗 Transformers.
Specifically, we’ll see how the pre-trained models can be used for audio classification, automatic speech recognition and audio generation.
Let’s get started!</p> <a class="!text-gray-400 !no-underline text-sm flex items-center not-prose mt-4" href="https://github.com/huggingface/audio-transformers-course/blob/main/chapters/en/chapter2/introduction.mdx" target="_blank"><span data-svelte-h="svelte-1kd6by1">&lt;</span> <span data-svelte-h="svelte-x0xyl0">&gt;</span> <span data-svelte-h="svelte-1dajgef"><span class="underline ml-1.5">Update</span> on GitHub</span></a>  <p></p>
