AI Summary
Torchaudio has been demoted from a required dependency to an optional one. The library now requires only torch, with audio I/O backends like torchaudio or torchcodec needing explicit installation. Import errors related to missing onnxruntime have also been resolved.
Key Highlights
- Torchaudio is now optional; only torch is required
- Audio I/O backends: install via [audio], [codec], or [all] extras
- Support for both torchaudio and torchcodec backends
- Fixed import failure when onnxruntime is not installed
Breaking Changes
- Torchaudio is no longer required by default; users must install a backend (torchaudio or torchcodec) to use read_audio/save_audio
- Importing silero_vad will now raise an error if onnxruntime is not installed (previously it failed at a different point)
New Features
- Lazy loading of sequence path to fix import reliability
- Explicit error messages guiding users to install the correct backend
Full Release Notes
torchaudio is now an optional dependency instead of required. Only torch is required — the model itself never used torchaudio, only the `read_audio` / `save_audio` helpers did. Users who need audio I/O must now install a backend explicitly: - `pip install silero-vad[audio]` (torchaudio) - `pip install silero-vad[codec]` (torchcodec) - `pip install silero-vad[all]` (everything) Key changes: - `read_audio` / `save_audio` now work with either torchaudio or torchcodec; with neither installed they raise an error naming the extra to install - Fixed: `import silero_vad` failed when onnxruntime was not installed — the sequence path is now imported lazily - numpy is now declared in [onnx-cpu] / [onnx-gpu] If you load audio yourself, no backend is needed at all: ```python3 from silero_vad import load_silero_vad, get_speech_timestamps model = load_silero_vad() audio = ... # 1-D float32 torch.Tensor from any source ts = get_speech_timestamps(audio, model, return_seconds=True) ```
