Kanary Prompt

Lightweight package that registers the Kanary prompt formatter for NeMo/Canary2 pipelines.

Install from Git

pip install git+https://github.com/21jun/kanary_prompt.git

Local development install

pip install -e .

Usage

import nemo.collections.asr as nemo_asr
from kanary_prompt import kanary # by importing kanary, it will automatically register kanary prompt formatter to nemo lib.
import json
import tempfile
import soundfile as sf

# Initialize ASR model
asr_model = nemo_asr.models.ASRModel.from_pretrained("lee1jun/kanary-1b-20260119")

The formatter plugs into NeMo's prompt registry so you can reference "kanary" anywhere NeMo expects a prompt format name. Dependencies (torch, lhotse, nemo_toolkit) should already be present in your environment; install any GPU-specific variants per the PyTorch/NeMo docs.

Build a wheel (optional)
