0.0056real-time factor
In a test on AISHELL-1 run on a GeForce GTX TITAN X GPU, the spike-triggered non-autoregressive model at trigger threshold 0.3 had a real-time factor of 0.0056, about 179 times faster than real time.

Spike-Triggered Non-Autoregressive Transformer for End-to-End Speech Recognition, Zhengkun Tian et al., Interspeech 2020, 2020, Section 3.3, Table 2.
Open the original (DOI 10.21437/Interspeech.2020-2086)- What it measures
- Table 2 of the paper records the time ST-NAT spends decoding the test set at four trigger thresholds, and the real-time factor is that time divided by the audio length. Utterances were decoded one by one on a single GPU.
- What it does not show
- Measured on a 2020 GPU with one decoding setup on AISHELL-1, so the speed is a relative figure and not a product benchmark. The paper's own RTF has two significant digits, so the converted speed is approximate.
In the data
A row of Speech Recognition Speed: Real-Time Factor Data, as Tian et al. 2020, threshold 0.3: 179 times faster than real time.
