The objective of this project is to leverage the Whisper state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) system developed by OpenAI for automatic speech recognition of gutural and scream sounds mainly present in heavy metal music.
I take advantage of the HuggingFace ecosystem to:
1) Create a dataset using .srt files and audio .wav files collected from Youtube in order to annotate vocal sound extracts.
2) Fine-tune a large version of the Whisper model on the dataset created.
3) Deploy a demo on Space repository using Gradio.

Speech-to-text dataset with +2.5h of annotated audio, comprised of clean vocals and different gutural sounds, including: low, mid, & high fry screams. The data was built with an eclectic sample of artists from varied sub-genres of hard metal music. Some of the artists included are: Suicide Silence, Lamb of God, Cradle of Filth, Cannibal Corpse and much more (full YouTube playlist available below).
Live demo of the ASR engine. With the transcription, I analyze the emotions present in the lyrics to identify: anger 🤬, disgust 🤢, fear 😨, joy 😀, neutral 😐, sadness 😭, surprise 😲 in a user-friendly and interactive spider chart.
