+This file demonstrates how to use sherpa-onnx Python APIs
+with VAD and non-streaming ASR models for speech recognition
+from a microphone.
+
+Note that you need a non-streaming model for this script.
+
+(1) For paraformer
+
+    ./python-api-examples/vad-with-non-streaming-asr.py  \
+      --silero-vad-model=/path/to/silero_vad.onnx \
+      --tokens=/path/to/tokens.txt \
+      --paraformer=/path/to/paraformer.onnx \
+      --num-threads=2 \
+      --decoding-method=greedy_search \
+      --debug=false \
+      --sample-rate=16000 \
+      --feature-dim=80
+
+(2) For transducer models from icefall
+
+    ./python-api-examples/vad-with-non-streaming-asr.py  \
+      --silero-vad-model=/path/to/silero_vad.onnx \
+      --tokens=/path/to/tokens.txt \
+      --encoder=/path/to/encoder.onnx \

+      --debug=false \
+      --sample-rate=16000 \
+      --feature-dim=80
+
+(3) For Whisper models
+
+./python-api-examples/vad-with-non-streaming-asr.py  \
+  --silero-vad-model=/path/to/silero_vad.onnx \
+  --whisper-encoder=./sherpa-onnx-whisper-base.en/base.en-encoder.int8.onnx \
