9. 最佳实践

  1. 模型选择

    • 实时应用:Whisper-turbo或Canary-Qwen
    • 高精度需求:Qwen2-Audio
    • 边缘部署:量化的Whisper-tiny
  2. 优化策略

    • 使用VAD减少无效处理
    • 实施智能分块和缓冲
    • 采用模型量化和剪枝
  3. 部署建议

    • 云端:使用GPU加速
    • 边缘:ONNX Runtime优化
    • 混合:边缘预处理+云端精确识别

结论

2024-2025年的ASR技术发展呈现出三大趋势:速度更快(Whisper Turbo 8倍提速)、理解更深(Qwen-Audio多模态)、部署更广(边缘优化)。随着技术的不断进步,ASR正在从简单的语音转文字工具,演变为理解人类意图的智能系统。
