# Paraformer-zh-streaming

**Streaming speech recognition** — real-time transcription with low latency for Chinese.

Streaming variant of Paraformer that processes audio in chunks, delivering results in real-time as audio arrives.

## Quick Start

```python
from funasr import AutoModel

model = AutoModel(
    model="funasr/paraformer-zh-streaming",
    hub="hf",
    device="cuda",
)

# Streaming inference with chunk processing
import sounddevice as sd
import numpy as np

chunk_size = [0, 10, 5]  # [lookback, chunk, lookahead] in 60ms frames
result = model.generate(
    input="audio.wav",
    chunk_size=chunk_size,
    encoder_chunk_look_back=4,
    decoder_chunk_look_back=1,
)
print(result[0]["text"])
```

## Features

- Real-time streaming recognition
- Low latency chunk-by-chunk processing
- Chinese + English support
- Compatible with WebSocket deployment
