Python package for windows

I may be missing something completely, but I take it that there are no
python packages for windows testing currently. After Pip told me that it
couldn't find the correct package, I search PYPI to find that all files
seemed to be for linux or OSX. Is there any talk of these packages being
extended to windows, or is the only hope for windows to download the
source and train the models? Thanks

So far we have no plan for Windows, but the model file itself is
platform-independant, so you should be able to follow TensorFlow's build
instructions for Windows to produce the libraries and then build the
bindings :).

Hi lissyx,

Thanks for the quick response. I kinda figured that might be the case.

you can use WSL if you are in Windows 10. I wrote the instructions here:

WSL approach will not work for serious windows application development.
Does anyone has any experience of building this code (specifically
client) for windows application.

TensorFlow upstream has support for building on Windows, but so far we
don't do that, so it's likely our code may not yet be ready for Windows.
You'll need to build TensorFlow for Windows if you want to hack on that,
but we cannot help more at the moment.

Hi - We are also hoping for some Windows implementation at some point
and are looking for developers who could help us build an application
using deepspeech.

Also interested in getting this working on windows for
https://github.com/getnamo/tensorflow-ue4

Looking at the DeepSpeech requirements.txt list, I suspect it will
largely come down to being able to get all of these working in windows
(or replacing them with an alternative with the same api)

which do you think will be blockers?

This list of requirements is for training, I guess the topic was for
inference, so the complexity of getting it on Windows is much lower
than training on windows. Looking at your project, you might be
interested in both, but I'm not sure how much training (e.g. using CUDA)
is supported by tensorflow on windows?

You're correct I'm interested in both.

GPU/cuDNN is already supported in tensorflow for windows (since 1.0) and
in the plugin (check releases), so it should only boil down to ensuring
the pre-requisites for deepspech work on windows. It appears on the
surface that they all have a wheel for pip on windows, but I've yet to
test the whole setup.

Great, patches are welcome if you get to something that works :).

Hi,

What is the status of python bindings for windows currently ? I'm just
interested in inference at the moment.

Thanks, slash

It's on the todo list. We have NodeJS ones, it's mostly a matter of me
finding the time to add the code to deal with pyenv-win instead of
pyenv as we have on the other platforms.

Code is already ready, I could build python bindings locally in a VM.

Great ! I'll wait then until they become available.

I'm interested in running the vad_transcriber example, so I suppose
NodeJS bindings won't help.

so does deepspeech now work with python on windows?

I'll let you read the README, docs, release notes and check the
published pypi files to know about that.
