FALCON web demo β interactive forced alignment in the browser.
Two pretrained checkpoints are used by FALCON (under pretrained_models/):
- falcon_timit_english.pt β TIMIT-trained, best for English phoneme alignment
- falcon_joint_multilingual.pt β joint TIMIT+Buckeye model; best for cross-lingual /
multilingual zero-shot alignment (Dutch, German,
Hebrew, ...) at both phoneme and word level.
The app picks one automatically from the `Language` radio (english β TIMIT,
multilingual β joint); a custom .pt upload overrides both.
For HuggingFace Spaces deployment, set Space Secrets:
HF_MODEL_REPO β e.g. "MLSpeech/FALCON-weights"
HF_TOKEN β only needed for private repos
The app will download `falcon_timit_english.pt` and `falcon_joint_multilingual.pt`
from that repo on first use.
