## Installation

Add FluidAudio to your project using Swift Package Manager:

```swift
dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/FluidInference/FluidAudio.git", from: "0.12.4"),
],
```

**In Xcode:**
1. Add the FluidAudio package to your project
2. In the "Add Package" dialog, select `FluidAudio`
3. Add it to your app target

**In Package.swift:**
```swift
.product(name: "FluidAudio", package: "FluidAudio")
```

**CocoaPods:** We recommend using [cocoapods-spm](https://github.com/trinhngocthuyen/cocoapods-spm) for better SPM integration, but if needed, you can also use our podspec: `pod 'FluidAudio', '~> 0.12.4'`

### ASR Quick Start

```swift
import FluidAudio

// Batch transcription from an audio file
Task {
    // 1) Initialize ASR manager and load models
    let models = try await AsrModels.downloadAndLoad(version: .v3)  // Switch to .v2 for English-only work
    let asrManager = AsrManager(config: .default)
    try await asrManager.loadModels(models)

    // 3) Transcribe the audio 16hz, already converted
    let result = try await asrManager.transcribe(samples)

    // 3) Transcribe a file
    // let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: sample.audioPath)

    // 3) Transcribe AVAudioPCMBuffer
    // let result = try await asrManager.transcribe(audioBuffer)
    print("Transcription: \(result.text)")
}
```

```bash

### VAD Quick Start (Offline Segmentation)

Simple call to return chunk-level probabilities every 256 ms hop:

```swift
let results = try await manager.process(samples)
for (index, chunk) in results.enumerated() {
    print(
        String(
            format: "Chunk %02d: prob=%.3f, inference=%.4fs",
            index,
            chunk.probability,
            chunk.processingTime
        )
    )
}
```

The following are higher level APIs better suited to integrate with other systems

```swift
import FluidAudio

Task {
    let manager = try await VadManager(
        config: VadConfig(defaultThreshold: 0.75)
    )

    let audioURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "path/to/audio.wav")
    let samples = try AudioConverter().resampleAudioFile(audioURL)

    var segmentation = VadSegmentationConfig.default
    segmentation.minSpeechDuration = 0.25
    segmentation.minSilenceDuration = 0.4

    let segments = try await manager.segmentSpeech(samples, config: segmentation)
    for segment in segments {
        print(
            String(format: "Speech %.2f–%.2fs", segment.startTime, segment.endTime)
        )
    }
}
```
