Shared compatibility

  • Python · CosyVoice: Python runtime · Speech: Python runtime

Choose CosyVoice if…

  • Tags unique to CosyVoice: audio-generation, cantonese, chatbot, chatgpt.
  • Also covers Inference & Serving.
  • When you need support for multiple languages like Cantonese, Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean.

When NOT to use CosyVoice

  • If your project specifically requires fine-tuned performance in languages not supported by CosyVoice such as Arabic or Spanish.
  • When strict real-time speech synthesis requirements are essential, as CosyVoice may face delays depending on the environment's computational power and model complexity.

Choose Speech if…

  • Tags unique to Speech: asr, deeplearning, generative-ai, machine-translation.
  • Also covers Developer Tools.
  • When working on projects that require extensive GPU utilization for training large models due to its support for efficient CUDA usage.

When NOT to use Speech

  • For environments where GPU access is limited or unavailable since the toolkit highly recommends a GPU setup for both training and recommended for inference.
  • If your Python/PyTorch/CUDA versions fall below the specified requirements (Python 3.12+, PyTorch 2.7+), as lower versions will not be compatible with NeMo Speech.
  • In scenarios where you're working with models that do not require or benefit significantly from GPU acceleration, given its architecture optimized for GPU use.
