Usage

Complete the VoiceHub installation once, then run this repository-authored example. Model pages intentionally contain no package-install command.

This example is maintained against VoiceHub's public API; it is not copied from an upstream demo or package README.

Model-specific path: Uses sherpa-onnx streaming Silero state with an explicit threshold and segment padding.

Inputs and controls: Keep streaming state per audio stream; do not share one detector instance across unrelated calls.

from pathlib import Path

from voicehub import AutoModelForVoiceActivityDetection

AUDIO_FILE = Path("speech.wav")
if not AUDIO_FILE.is_file():
    raise FileNotFoundError(AUDIO_FILE)

model = AutoModelForVoiceActivityDetection.from_pretrained(
    'safestack/silero-vad',
    model_type='vad_sherpa_onnx',
    device="cpu",
    lazy_load=True,
)
output = model.detect(
    AUDIO_FILE,
    threshold=0.5,
    speech_pad_ms=100,
    max_speech_duration_s=30.0,
)
for segment in output.segments:
    print(segment.start, segment.end, segment.score)

Use authorized recordings. Verify hardware needs and pin a revision in production.

Overview

vad_sherpa_onnx is a VoiceHub voice activity detection integration. This page is generated from its registry contract. Open the vad_sherpa_onnx Colab notebook.

Property Value
Task Voice activity detection
Architecture native-vad-dispatch
Runtime VoiceHub-native
Languages Not text-language conditioned
Capabilities voice-activity-detection, voicehub-native, safetensors, explicit-onnx-weight-conversion, fine-tuning, streaming, sherpa-compatible-segmentation, silero, ten-vad
Reusable components —
Normalized output VADOutput

Language support

The public VAD contract does not select a spoken language; validate checkpoint acoustic coverage on the target languages and recording conditions.

Paper and GitHub

Configuration

Load configuration without constructing the model:

from voicehub import AutoConfig

config = AutoConfig.for_model('vad_sherpa_onnx')
print(config.model_type)
Property Value
Canonical model type vad_sherpa_onnx
Configuration class SherpaONNXVADConfig
Architecture class SherpaONNXVADForVoiceActivityDetection

Processing

Create the registered processor without allocating model weights:

from voicehub import AutoProcessor

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(
    'safestack/silero-vad',
    model_type='vad_sherpa_onnx',
)
print(type(processor).__name__)

Inference

The Usage example returns VADOutput through AutoModelForVoiceActivityDetection.

Input and output contract

Property Value
Label boundary Clip-, frame-, or segment-level labels
Required training inputs labels

Use authorized audio and preserve annotation provenance. See the ASR and VAD data workflow.

Training and optimization

Use available_optimization_passes() to discover reversible public passes. Unsupported runtime or hardware fails closed before mutation.

Training contract

Property Value
Support native
Family frame-classification
Recipe single-phase
Default phase voice_activity_detection
Training checkpoint safestack/silero-vad
Native training graph yes
Phase Kind Components Required inputs Loss keys
voice_activity_detection objective model labels loss

The integration accepts its declared source or prepared contract directly. Call model.validate_training_support() first, then follow the training workflow.

Checkpoints, provenance, license, and limitations

Property Value
Default checkpoint safestack/silero-vad
Hugging Face ID safestack/silero-vad
Repository availability verified through the Hugging Face model API on 2026-08-11; pin a revision before production use.
Checkpoint status Registry default; pin an immutable revision for production and reproducible evidence
Optional dependency extra Core package
Hardware and runtime Usage selects cpu; verify checkpoint-specific requirements
Real-checkpoint evidence Release evidence; a registry default alone is not execution evidence
Implementation voicehub.models.vad_sherpa_onnx.modeling_vad_sherpa_onnx.SherpaONNXVADForVoiceActivityDetection
Configuration voicehub.models.vad_sherpa_onnx.configuration_vad_sherpa_onnx.SherpaONNXVADConfig
Source provenance voicehub/architectures/ten_vad/SOURCE.json
License LicenseRef-TEN-VAD-Open-Source-License

The provider's optional TEN family is governed by a non-standard license with additional deployment restrictions, including limits on competing with Agora. Review the bundled THIRD_PARTY_LICENSE before conversion, fine-tuning, distribution, or deployment. The default Silero family retains its own checkpoint terms. Commercial use: review required.

Confirm the checkpoint revision, access terms, provenance, and license.

Limitations

  • No integration-specific checkpoint limitation is registered. Verify the selected checkpoint revision and its documented runtime requirements.
  • Validate memory, precision, and optional dependencies on the target system.
  • Public optimizations fail closed when the runtime or hardware cannot satisfy their validation contract; an unavailable pass is not reported as applied.
  • Contract tests do not replace the linked released-checkpoint evidence.
