Identifies which language is spoken in an audio clip, across 100+ languages and 20+ Chinese dialects and accents. The language ID module of FireRedASR2S, for speech developers. FireRedLID is a kit in the Developer category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-13. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by FireRedTeam ## About ### What it is FireRedLID is the spoken language identification module of FireRedASR2S, an all-in-one speech recognition system. You give it audio, and it says which language is being spoken. It covers 100+ languages and 20+ Chinese dialects and accents. ### Who it suits It suits speech developers who need to know the language of a recording before they transcribe or route it. Who runs it | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Software | Speech developers | Detect the language before choosing a recognizer | Send Mandarin clips to a Mandarin recognizer | | Media | Teams sorting audio archives | Label recordings by language | Group a folder of clips by language | | Research | Speech researchers | Compare language identification accuracy | Score the model on FLEURS data | If you only work in one known language, you can skip it. ### Where to use it - Python on Windows, macOS or Linux, with the FireRedASR2S code installed - A GPU, since the card's sample turns on GPU use, though the setting can be changed - Larger FireRedASR2S pipelines, where this is the language step Jobs it does | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Labelling a clip's language | Developers | A language, a confidence score and the clip length | | Batch sorting | Archive teams | One result per audio file in a list | ### How to set it up - Python on Windows, macOS or Linux - The FireRedASR2S code from the project's GitHub repository, with its dependencies - WAV files to test with 1. Clone the FireRedASR2S repository on GitHub and install its dependencies. 2. Download the model files. 3. Run the Python sample. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download FireRedTeam/FireRedLID ``` ### How to use it Build a config, load the model by name, and pass a list of clip ids with a list of WAV paths. The call returns one result per clip. ```python from fireredasr2s.fireredlid import FireRedLid, FireRedLidConfig batch_uttid = ["hello_zh", "hello_en"] batch_wav_path = ["assets/hello_zh.wav", "assets/hello_en.wav"] config = FireRedLidConfig(use_gpu=True, use_half=False) model = FireRedLid.from_pretrained("FireRedTeam/FireRedLID", config) results = model.process(batch_uttid, batch_wav_path) print(results) ``` Calls in the sample | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | FireRedLidConfig | Sets options such as GPU use and half precision | | FireRedLid.from\_pretrained | Loads the model by its Hugging Face name | | model.process | Identifies the language of each listed clip | ### Example You pass two short clips, one named hello\_zh and one named hello\_en. The card's sample output labels the first as Mandarin and the second as English, each with a confidence of 0.996, plus the clip length and a speed figure. ### For newcomers and experts If you are new, language identification means a program listens to a recording and tells you what language it is. The first small thing to try is the two-clip sample from the card. If you know the field, the card measures utterance-level accuracy. FireRedLID scores 97.18 on the FLEURS test across 82 languages, against 92.91 for SpeechBrain and 79.41 for Whisper. The trade-off is coverage: the figures cover 82 and 74 languages, not all 100+ it supports. Clone the code and install it → Load FireRedLID by name → Pass clip ids and WAV paths → Read the language and confidence ### Good to know Accuracy on the FLEURS test across 82 languages | Label | Value | | --- | --- | | FireRedLID | 97.18% | | SpeechBrain | 92.91% | | Whisper | 79.41% | - Other sets: 92.07 on the CommonVoice test and 88.47 on Chinese dialect and accent sets. - Setup: the model alone is not enough, since the card asks you to clone its code first. - License: apache-2.0. - Cost to run: no API key, account or paid service is named. - Data it reaches: it reads the audio files you pass in and downloads the model from Hugging Face. ## README ````markdown # FireRedLID Identifies which language is spoken in an audio clip, across 100+ languages and 20+ Chinese dialects and accents.
