Zebra

Zebra is a lightweight, on-device neural machine translation engine. Zebra is:

• Private; All processing runs locally.
• Cross-Platform:
  • Linux (x86_64), macOS (x86_64, arm64), Windows (x86_64, arm64)
  • Raspberry Pi (3, 4, 5)

Compatibility

• Python 3.9+
• Runs on Linux (x86_64), macOS (x86_64, arm64), Windows (x86_64, arm64), and Raspberry Pi (3, 4, 5).

Installation

pip3 install pvzebrademo

AccessKey

Zebra requires a valid Picovoice AccessKey at initialization. AccessKey acts as your credentials when using Zebra SDKs. You can get your AccessKey for free. Make sure to keep your AccessKey secret. Signup or Login to Picovoice Console to get your AccessKey.

Usage

Run the following in the terminal:

zebra_demo --access_key ${ACCESS_KEY} --model_path ${MODEL_PATH} --text ${TEXT}

Replace ${ACCESS_KEY} with yours obtained from Picovoice Console, ${MODEL_PATH} with a supported translation model located here and ${TEXT} with the text to translate.

Translation Models

The Zebra model decides the source and target languages:

zebra_params_${SOURCE}_${TARGET}.pv

Where ${SOURCE} is the language code of the source language and ${TARGET} is the language code of the target language for the translation.
