Overview

SileroVADAnalyzer is a Voice Activity Detection (VAD) analyzer that uses the Silero VAD ONNX model to detect speech in audio streams. It provides high-accuracy speech detection with efficient processing using ONNX runtime.

​

Installation

The Silero VAD analyzer requires additional dependencies:

pip install "pipecat-ai[silero]"

​

Constructor Parameters

​

Usage Example

transport = DailyTransport(
    room_url,
    token,
    "Respond bot",
    DailyParams(
        audio_in_enabled=True,
        audio_out_enabled=True,
        vad_analyzer=SileroVADAnalyzer(params=VADParams(stop_secs=0.5)),
    ),
)

Sample Rate Requirements

The analyzer supports two sample rates:

• 8000 Hz (256 samples per frame)
• 16000 Hz (512 samples per frame)

Model Management

• Uses ONNX runtime for efficient inference
• Automatically resets model state every 5 seconds to manage memory
• Runs on CPU by default for consistent performance
• Includes built-in model file

​

Notes
