Closed lucky-bai closed 6 years ago

Adds a pipeline that runs the Praat syllable nuclei script: https://sites.google.com/site/speechrate/Home/praat-script-syllable-nuclei-v2

Issue: #9

Thanks for this. I have a couple of suggestions. 1) I think its reasonable to expect users to have programs such as praat in their path. So we do not need to add a config entry. The reason we have a config entry for opensmile_home is that we need the config files from openSMILE, not just the executable. It looks like all we need from path_to_praat is th executable. 2) We should minimize the amount of 3rd party code in the repo. If syllable_nuclei_v2.praat is something that can be easily downloaded, we can download it in the setup.sh script.

Okay, I agree on the first point. For the second point, I made some changes to the Praat script so it's not identical to the one on the website -- the original script assumes you're running it from the GUI and I had to modify it to work when called from the commandline.
