A Python wrapper around Google's WebRTC Voice Activity Detector, classifying short frames of 16-bit mono PCM audio as speech or non-speech. It is fast, lightweight, and commonly used as a preprocessing step for telephony and speech recognition pipelines.
Use cases
- detect speech segments in a wav file
- filter out silence before running speech recognition
- voice activity detection for telephony audio
- split audio into voiced and unvoiced chunks
- python wrapper for webrtc vad
- trim silence from recorded audio
When to choose
- you need fast, lightweight VAD on 16-bit mono PCM at 8/16/32/48 kHz
- you want a battle-tested C-based detector with a simple Python API
- you're preprocessing audio for ASR or telephony
When to avoid
- your audio isn't 16-bit mono PCM at supported sample rates
- you need state-of-the-art neural VAD accuracy
- you need per-word timestamps or speaker diarization
