# Athena
*Athena* is an open-source implementation of end-to-end speech processing engine. Our vision is to empower both industrial application and academic research on end-to-end models for speech processing. To make speech processing available to everyone, we're also releasing example implementation and recipe on some opensource dataset for various tasks (Automatic Speech Recognition, Speech Synthesis, Voice activity detection, Wake Word Spotting, etc).
All of our models are implemented in Tensorflow>=2.0.1. For ease of use, we provide Kaldi-free pythonic feature extractor with [Athena_transform](https://github.com/athena-team/athena-transform).
## Key Features
- Hybrid Attention/CTC based end-to-end and streaming methods(ASR)
- Text-to-Speech(FastSpeech/FastSpeech2/Transformer)
- Voice activity detection(VAD)
- Key Word Spotting with end-to-end and streaming methods(KWS)
- ASR Unsupervised pre-training(MPC)
- Multi-GPU training on one machine or across multiple machines with Horovod
- WFST creation and WFST-based decoding with C++
- Deployment with Tensorflow C++(Local server)
