Each line in wave_filenames.txt is a path to some 16k Hz mono wave file.
We need to create a file ``wave_filenames.txt``, in which we need to put
some calibration wave files. For testing purpose, we put the ``test_wavs``
from the pre-trained model repository `<https://huggingface.co/Zengwei/icefall-asr-librispeech-conv-emformer-transducer-stateless2-2022-07-05>`_

The output logs are in the following:
.. literalinclude:: ./code/generate-int-8-scale-table-for-conv-emformer.txt
It generates the following two files:
.. code-block:: bash
$ ls -lh encoder-scale-table.txt joiner-scale-table.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 kuangfangjun root 955K Jan 11 17:28 encoder-scale-table.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 kuangfangjun root 18K Jan 11 17:28 joiner-scale-table.txt
.. caution::
Definitely, you need more calibration data to compute the scale table.
Finally, let us use the scale table to quantize our models into ``int8``.
.. code-block:: bash
ncnn2int8
usage: ncnn2int8 [inparam] [inbin] [outparam] [outbin] [calibration table]
First, we quantize the encoder model:
.. code-block:: bash
cd egs/librispeech/ASR
cd icefall-asr-librispeech-conv-emformer-transducer-stateless2-2022-07-05/exp/
ncnn2int8 \
./encoder_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.param \
./encoder_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.bin \
./encoder_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.int8.param \
./encoder_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.int8.bin \
./encoder-scale-table.txt
Next, we quantize the joiner model:
.. code-block:: bash
ncnn2int8 \
./joiner_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.param \
./joiner_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.bin \
./joiner_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.int8.param \
./joiner_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.int8.bin \
./joiner-scale-table.txt
The above two commands generate the following 4 files:
.. code-block:: bash
-rw-r--r-- 1 kuangfangjun root 99M Jan 11 17:34 encoder_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.int8.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 kuangfangjun root 78K Jan 11 17:34 encoder_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.int8.param
-rw-r--r-- 1 kuangfangjun root 774K Jan 11 17:35 joiner_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.int8.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 kuangfangjun root 496 Jan 11 17:35 joiner_jit_trace-pnnx.ncnn.int8.param
Congratulations! You have successfully quantized your model from ``float32`` to ``int8``.
.. caution::
``ncnn.int8.param`` and ``ncnn.int8.bin`` must be used in pairs.
You can replace ``ncnn.param`` and ``ncnn.bin`` with ``ncnn.int8.param``
and ``ncnn.int8.bin`` in `sherpa-ncnn`_ if you like.
For instance, to use only the ``int8`` encoder in ``sherpa-ncnn``, you can
replace the following invocation:
.. code-block::
cd egs/librispeech/ASR
cd icefall-asr-librispeech-conv-emformer-transducer-stateless2-2022-07-05/exp/
sherpa-ncnn \

You can see that the file sizes of the model after ``int8`` quantization
are much smaller.
.. hint::
Currently, only linear layers and convolutional layers are quantized
with ``int8``, so you don't see an exact ``4x`` reduction in file sizes.
.. note::
You need to test the recognition accuracy after ``int8`` quantization.
You can find the speed comparison at `<https://github.com/k2-fsa/sherpa-ncnn/issues/44>`_.
That's it! Have fun with `sherpa-ncnn`_!
