Have you read the documentation ?
https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/blob/master/README.md#training-your-own-model

Have you read the links I gave you ?

yeah I read the documentation and I followed every step in it :

I can run deepspeech but it is so slow and take a lot of time

Ok I will see those links

Please provide more context, than just 'it is so slow'. We can't help
you if you keep on hiding everything.

Have you installed tensorflow-gpu as documented?

yeah I installed tensorflow-gpu = 1.13.1and all the libraries mentioned
in the requirements file slash
and when I run the training, it took about 1 hour with 1 epoch

It also depends on your dataset, as well as on some training parameters.
But one hour per epoch, on a single GTX 1070 with default
n_hidden=2048 seems okay.

try nvidia-smi while deepspeech is running to see whether you are
using the gpu, if instead htop show alls cpus running, you have no gpu
support

slash
Il faut s'assurer que tu disposes d'une bonne carte GPU + PC. slash
L'idéal est une bonne station de travail. slash
Il est préférable aussi d'entraîner sur des langues moins répandues car
les autres sont déjà prises en charge.

I do think that images are not a good thing, it's not searchable etc. I
also think you still not have followed the docs and installed
tensorflow-gpu as we document. So training being slower than it
should.
