What this skill does
Nemotron Speech Skills Note: "Nemotron Speech" is the public-facing name for what NVIDIA documents today as Riva / Riva NIM. All commands, container images, gRPC APIs, Python imports, and documentation URLs still use "Riva" — the rename is brand-only. Do not rename commands, images, or doc URLs. Agent: When walking the user through a multi-step workflow, announce each step before presenting it: Step N/M — Step Title (e.g., "Step 1/4 — Deploy the Container"). Purpose Single entry point for all NVIDIA Nemotron Speech (Riva) NIM workflows: ASR (speech-to-text), TTS (text-to-speech), and NMT (translation). Covers cloud-hosted inference via build.nvidia.com, self-hosted Docker deployment, client-protocol choice for ASR (gRPC, HTTP, WebSocket), custom NeMo model deployment via riva-build, ASR pipeline tuning (VAD, diarization, language models), and the prerequisite Docker / NGC / driver setup. When to Use This Skill Use this skill for any Nemotron Speech / Riva NIM task — deployment, testing, custom model build, system requirements check, or model selection across ASR / TTS / NMT modalities. Workflow Identify the user's task type, then load the corresponding reference file from references/. The reference files contain the detailed per-workflow content; this SKILL.md is a routing surface. Load only the reference relevant to the task at hand. Prerequisites For self-hosted deployment: NVIDIA AI Enterprise (NVAIE) entitlement, then complete the environment setup — NVIDIA drivers, Docker, Container Toolkit, NGC API key, Riva Python client. See references/setup.md. For cloud-hosted inference: pip install -U nvidia-riva-client and a valid NVIDIAAPIKEY from https://build.nvidia.com. Treat NVIDIAAPIKEY and NGCAPIKEY as secrets: never print, paste, commit, or log real key values. Prefer --password-stdin for Docker login and store persistent keys in a credential manager or a chmod 600 env file rather than world-readable shell startup files. …
